question 8 1 pts harvey has had menieres disease for several years. he has some hearing loss but now has persistent vertigo. what treatment might be instituted to relieve the vertigo? pharmacological therapy a labyrinthectomy a vestibular neurectomy wearing an earplug in the ear with the most hearing loss
Meniere's disease with persistent vertigo can be treated by surgical options when other measures fail. A labyrinthectomy and vestibular neurectomy are surgical procedures for severe cases. Pharmacological therapy is usually for initial management. Wearing an ear - plug in the ear with most hearing loss does not treat vertigo. A labyrinthectomy destroys the inner - ear labyrinth and is a more radical option that may be considered when hearing is already compromised. A vestibular neurectomy cuts the vestibular nerve to stop the transmission of abnormal signals causing vertigo.
