• Autoimmune Inner Ear Disorder (AIED) The treatment for people who have been diagnosed with an Autoimmune Inner Ear Disorder is a combination of medications which include either methotrexate or cytoxan which are both oral chemo drugs along with a steriod such as prednisone.
• An audiologist's evaluation will assess the severity of any hearing impairment, even in a very young or uncooperative child, and will indicate if a middle ear disorder is present.
• RECENT FINDINGS: The importance of diagnosing an immune-mediated inner-ear disorder is highlighted in the context of it being one of few forms of treatable inner-ear disorder with a good response to immunosuppressive therapy.
• This inner ear disorder is therefore similar to Mnire's Disease, but without any hearing loss or noise in the ear.
• An example of a common childhood middle ear disorder is otitis media (ear infection).
