Meniere's Disease

Meniere's disease is a condition affecting balance and hearing that affects the inner ear and is also known as Meniere's syndrome or endolymphatic hydrops. Several symptoms work together to define this condition.
- The sudden onset of extreme dizziness or a spinning sensation is known as vertigo.
- Tinnitus is defined as a ringing, roaring, or other sound that occurs in the ear, either sometimes or constantly.
- Hearing loss: a condition characterized by a decrease in one's ability to hear, either temporary or permanent.
- Ear fullness: a sensation of heaviness or pressure inside the infected ear.
Meniere's disease has a complex etiology that includes changes in pressure and volume within the ear's structures as a result of an abnormal accumulation of fluid (endolymph). The inner ear's regular processes, such as balance and hearing, may be thrown off by this.
Disabling vertigo and hearing loss are just two of the symptoms of Meniere's disease, which normally only affects one ear. It tends to happen in spurts, called episodes or attacks, with varied recoveries in between. Although Meniere's illness has no known cure, there are a number of treatments available to help with the symptoms. Modifying one's diet, taking medication to alleviate symptoms, engaging in vestibular rehabilitation therapy, and, in extreme circumstances, endolymphatic sac decompression or vestibular nerve section, are all potential treatments. Each patient is treated differently depending on their unique set of symptoms. A proper diagnosis and therapy for Meniere's disease requires a visit to a medical practitioner, such as an ear, nose, and throat specialist, if the condition is suspected.
