研究人员通过描记耳的电脉冲,已经能够诊断眩晕和耳鸣这类讨厌病症的起因了。这种病有时能使人致残,因此,一直使数百万美国人深受其害。内耳具有维持身体平衡的功能,因此,当内耳的淋巴液流入中耳时,这种反常现象常会导致眩晕、听力丧失、压迫感、疼痛或耳鸣。头部损伤、举重、用力过度、擤鼻涕或外界大气压发生急剧变化均能引起内耳穿孔或裂隙。称作外淋巴瘘。位于达拉斯的得克萨斯两南医学中心的威廉·梅而霍夫博士,通过对内耳各种电脉冲图样的研究,已经能够确定是否存在内耳淋巴液失调。目前,对于这类病人只需通过一个简单的门诊手术,即在瘘管处移植一 Researchers have been able to diagnose the causes of nausea such as dizziness and tinnitus by tracing the electrical pulses of the ear. Millions of Americans have been deeply jeopardized by the disease, which can sometimes be crippled. The inner ear has the function of maintaining the balance of the body. Therefore, when the lymphatic fluid of the inner ear flows into the middle ear, this abnormality often causes dizziness, hearing loss, pressure, pain or tinnitus. Head injury, weight lifting, excessive force, blowing nose or sudden changes in atmospheric pressure can cause the inner ear perforation or fissure. Known as perilymph fistula. Dr William Mayerhoff, of the Texas Southern Medical Center in Dallas, has been able to determine whether there is a disorder of the inner ear lymph fluid by studying various electrical pulse patterns in the inner ear. At present, for such patients only through a simple out-patient surgery, that is transplanted in the fistula
