Structural Analysis of Tensor Tympani Muscle, Tympanic Diaphragm, Epitympanum, and Protympanum in Menièreʼs Disease: a Human Temporal Bone Study

Hypothesis:We hypothesized that there would be significant anatomic differences of the tensor tympani muscle (TTM), tympanic diaphragm, epitympanum, and protympanum in patients with versus without Meniere's disease.Background:The effects of tenotomy on Meniere's disease suggested it relieves the pre
