The principle: No hair cells = no false signals = no vertigo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serious risks to be aware of: Gentamicin destroys tissue and can permanently damage hearing. Since Meniere's disease can also affect the second ear over time, in the worst case a severe bilateral loss of hearing (<a href=\"https:\/\/ivrt.de\/en\/dizziness-disorders\/bilateral-vestibulopathy\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5910\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bilateral vestibular pathology<\/a>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Good long-term prognosis: Even without invasive interventions, the attacks usually subside on their own over the years \u2013 in addition, a positive expectation attitude (placebo effect) has been proven to alleviate the symptoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Undoubtedly, this should be discussed with a doctor: such treatments should be exclusively handled by specialized doctors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 Do you want to understand the exact treatment approaches, criteria, and prognoses for Meniere's disease?
