Meniere's disease: What are the symptoms?

Recurrent vertigo attacks and hearing loss? That's something you need to know about Menière's disease know! ㅤ

If dizziness persists for hours and hearing is affected, the suspicion of Meniere's disease is likely.

The typical features and criteria of the disease:

• Hours-long rotation vertigo attacks: The attacks typically last between 20 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours and are accompanied by severe nausea and vomiting.
• Typical hearing symptoms: Hearing is directly affected – often by a feeling of pressure in the ear, ear noises (tinnitus) or sudden hearing loss. The special feature: These symptoms are intermittent, that is, they occur in phases and can improve between attacks.
• Episodic course: The attacks return – some sufferers have fainting episodes every week, others only once or twice a year.
• Course over time: At the beginning of the disease, the number of seizures often increases in frequency, while in later stages they typically subside significantly again.
