Authors' recommendations:
In summary, Meniett™ appears to benefit most, but not all patients in terms of reducing the number of vertigo episodes. It is difficult to ascertain if treatment with Meniett™ has a positive effect on the hearing levels of patients. It appears that treatment with Meniett™ would have to be continued in the long term for a sustained reduction in symptoms and as yet the longest follow-up study is 18 to 24 months. Long-term use of Meniett™ may be associated with adverse events associated with long-term implantation of tympanic tubes such as infection and the need for regular replacement of the tube.
