Meniere’s Disease
Ménière’s disease is a disorder of the inner ear that can affect hearing and balance. It is characterized by episodes of vertigo and tinnitus and progressive hearing loss, usually in one ear. The condition can range in intensity from being a mild annoyance to a lifelong disability. The symptoms of Ménière’s can vary, bu the so-called “classic Ménière’s” usually exhibits the following four symptoms:
- Periodic episodes of rotary vertigo or dizziness.
- Fluctuating, progressive, unilateral (in one ear) or bilateral (in both ears) hearing loss, usually in lower frequencies.
- Unilateral or bilateral tinnitus.
- A sensation of fullness or pressure in one or both ears.
Often, Ménière’s begins with one symptom, and gradually progresses. However, not all symptoms must be present for a doctor to make a diagnosis of the disease. Attacks of vertigo can be severe, incapacitating, and unpredictable and can last anywhere from minutes to hours. This combines with an increase in volume of tinnitus and temporary, albeit significant, hearing loss.
