<p>In a method of treating Ménière's disease intermittent air pressure pulse trains are administred to an outwardly sealed external ear volume bordering to a surgically perforated tympanic membrane. In a pulse train air pressure is increased from ambient (p0) to a first level (p1) and from there repeatedly to a second level (p2) and repeatedly decreased to the first level (p1), and finally decreased to ambient (p0). P1 is from 4 to 16 cm H2O, p2 is from 8 to 16 cm H2O, with the proviso that p1 > p2, the pressure increase rate is from 0 to 4 mm H2O per millisecond, the pressure decrease rate is from 0 to 2 mm H2O per millisecond, the modulation frequency is from 3 to 9 Hz, the intermittent time period is from 3 to 10 seconds. Also disclosed is an apparatus for carrying out the method.</p> |
