Abstract
Aviation medical examiners should always keep two principles in mind when evaluating patients with vertigo: Does this disease render him or her incapacitated? And does this disease recur? Meniere's disease accompanies vertigo and hearing symptoms such as hearing loss and tinnitus and is particularly important because it can render the patient incapacitated and has recurrent consequences. In this case, we intended to investigate the course of a patient who was evaluated with symptoms of dizziness and tinnitus and to review the patient's judgment result according to the principles of aeromedical evaluation.
