Most patients with bilateral Meniere's disease treated with streptomycin sulfate titration therapy and followed over the long term have either improvement or relief of their disabling vertigo. Although persistent post-treatment disequilibrium occurs not infrequently, it is mild in the most patients. Stabilization or improvement of hearing occurs in most patients, and the authors have not encountered hearing loss to date as a result of streptomycin sulfate titration therapy. There seems to be considerable separation between the vestibulotoxic and cochleotoxic doses of streptomycin sulfate intramuscularly when administered in humans.
