The caloric test is said to be the most effective diagnostic tool for menieres, however if the four main symptoms of vertigo, tinnitus, aural fullness and hearing loss are all present and an MRI Is done to rule out other causes such at tumours, cyst or abnormal bone growth then most doctors consider this a diagnosis

Symptoms are crucial in the diagnosis. The two main symptoms are vertigo coupled with hearing loss. A hearing test is a good indicator. An MRI may be used to rule out other causes. There isn't a specific test to diagnose Meniere's

First thing is the doctor check to see if you have a sinus or ear infection then rules out any growths like tumors by MRI or CT Scans.
Next the doctor will ask for a medical history because other illnesses could cause some of the same Meniere's symptoms. Vertigo could be cause many other issues.
Then a Ear auto test will be given to see how your hear has been affected & how much you have lost. Your asked if you hear any ringing & for how long. Mine is 24/7 but has I feel an attack coming it gets louder.
Another question is, does vertigo only happen when you move your head a certain way? You could have a simple issue of crystals in the inner ear that are loose. Does your vertigo get triggered by eye movement?
After factoring all these things that's how I was diagnosed. The more you can talk with your doctor the better. Meniere's is not like a physical disease like cancer. I didn't a lot of research then talked with my doctor. Sometimes we get so focus on one issues that we tend to not look at others. I found out my airborne allergies are problem & the doctor did mean there are studies linking allergies & Meniere's? If you find the doctor is not open to suggestion then get a new one. I when 4 doctors before I got the right treatment.

You should go to a otoneurólogo that is an ent doctor with a specialization in the relationship of the ear to the nervous system. Some of the tests used are the videonistagmografía, electrococleografía and audiometry.
