Active agents that bind to VEGF or a VEGF receptor and reduce the severity of a condition associated with BLB disruption and/or angiogenesis, for example anti-VEGF antibodies or tyrosine kinase inhibitor small molecules, can be locally, regionally or systemically administered to an individual with an otic disease or condition, such as Méniére's Disease, Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease, sensorineural hearing loss and noise-induced hearing loss, to alleviate symptoms of the disease or condition, for example, due to edema and endolymphatic dysfunction. An effective amount of these compounds can be delivered by intratympanic or intracochlear administration. Other methods of administration include, but are not limited to, topical, parenteral, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal and intranasal. Formulations may be, for example, for immediate release, sustained release, or controlled release.
