The correlation between the symptoms remaining after treatment for five years and occupational reinstatement of the patients with vertigo or dizziness which arose from functional otogenic disorders or intracranial organic diseases was evaluated. The result was discussed clinically and sociologically in comparison with that of the previously reported organic inner ear disorders such as Meniere's disease.1). The failure of reinstatement due to vertiginous disease was found at a significantly lower percentage in the group with functional inner ear disorders than in the other two groups.2). The most influential factor on the failure differed among the three groups as follows: tinnitus and hearing disturbance in the organic inner ear disease group; nausea and workshop circumstance (human relation) in the intracranial organic disease group; and head heaviness, lack of selfconfidence and iatrogenic neurosis in the functional inner ear disorder group.3). It was, therefore, confirmed that organic inner ear diseases had the same sociological seriousness as intracranial organic diseases and must be treated with sociological considerations.
