In this letter, we discuss possible alternatives and future perspectives in the therapy of Meniere’s disease. Special attention should be paid to the role of dietary restrictions for glucose in patients with Meniere’s disease, as there is a strong evidence about the presence of insulin receptors in the saccule, the main structure affected by pathological changes due to endolymphatic hydrops; to the possible use of endogenous antisecretory factor administered in specially processed cereals; and to the effects of low-dose intratympanic gentamicin, especially in patients with intractable Meniere’s disease.
