People who suffer from Meniere's disease experience dizziness, tinnitus and sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common form of hearing loss; it is caused by a disorder of the inner ear or the auditory nerve.<\/p><p>Meni\u00e8re's disease is named after Dr. Prosper Meni\u00e8re, a French physician. In 1861, Meni\u00e8re discovered that the ear is the cause of vertigo attacks.<\/p><p>Different people have different symptoms. In addition, the same person can sometimes have mild and sometimes severe attacks. During severe attacks, you are unable to walk.<\/p><p>Meniere's disease is chronic and the course of the disease is progressive. In the later stages of the disease, the attacks of vertigo may diminish or disappear completely. The tinnitus and ear pressure usually remain the same, whereas the hearing loss often worsens over time.<\/p><p>There is no cure for Meniere's disease, but the symptoms can be alleviated.<\/p><p>Researchers are not sure exactly how many people suffer from Meniere's disease. It is possible that one in 200 people is affected, but it may also be much rarer. Meniere's disease is more common in people between the ages of 30 and 60 and affects more women than men.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

Researchers suspect a variety of possible causes, including vascular factors, genetic predisposition, autoimmune reactions, viral infections, allergies, trauma, low pressure in the spinal cord, intestinal permeability, acid reflux and venous drainage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ea9d450 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-accordion\" data-id=\"4ea9d450\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:400}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\n        <div class=\"elementskit-accordion accoedion-primary\" id=\"accordion-69e1296e6797d\">\n\n            \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card\">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-0-4ea9d450\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-a6e330569e1296e6797d\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-a6e330569e1296e6797d\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-a6e330569e1296e6797d\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">Symptoms of Meniere's disease<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-plus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-minus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-a6e330569e1296e6797d\" class=\"collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-0-4ea9d450\" data-parent=\"#accordion-69e1296e6797d\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p>The symptoms of Meniere's disease are:<\/p><ul><li>Vertigo attacks (feeling that the room is spinning), which can last between 20 minutes and 12 hours; most attacks last up to four hours<\/li><li>Hearing loss and tinnitus in one ear, which may worsen during the vertigo attack<\/li><li>A feeling of fullness or pressure on the affected ear<\/li><\/ul><p>Most people only have symptoms in one ear, but over time both ears can be affected.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card\">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-1-4ea9d450\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-d14d6b569e1296e6797d\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-d14d6b569e1296e6797d\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-d14d6b569e1296e6797d\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">Acute attack<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-plus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-minus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-d14d6b569e1296e6797d\" class=\"collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-1-4ea9d450\" data-parent=\"#accordion-69e1296e6797d\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p>During an attack, people with Meniere's disease may experience nausea, vomiting and sweating.

In addition, every operation carries risks and operations on the inner ear, which is located on the brain stem, should be carefully considered.<\/p><p>The following surgical measures are available for the treatment of Meniere's disease:<\/p><ul><li>Endolymphatic decompression: In this operation, the bone around the so-called endolymphatic sac is removed. The endolymphatic sac drains the fluid from the inner ear. In one study, the symptoms of vertigo improved in around two thirds of patients who underwent this operation. However, about the same number of patients also improved without surgery! One advantage of this operation is that it does not affect hearing. There is a low risk of spinal fluid leaking during this procedure.<\/li><li>Vestibular neurectomy: During this operation, the vestibular nerve is severed. In most patients, Meni\u00e8re's attacks disappear completely after this procedure. However, it is a major procedure and there is a risk of side effects, such as spinal fluid leakage, infection or stroke.<\/li><li>Labyrinthectomy: In this operation, the entire inner ear is removed. This operation is therefore usually very successful. However, it also leads to a loss of function of the inner ear, so that it also leads to severe balance disorders and hearing loss. It is usually only performed on older patients or patients who already have severe hearing loss.<\/li><\/ul><p>Most patients require vestibular rehabilitation after a vestibular neurectomy or labyrinthectomy. Be aware that any invasive form of treatment carries a risk: In about 40% of cases, Meniere's disease will be bilateral (affecting both ears) in the long term.

Talk to your doctor about what medication you can take in the event of an attack. Find out which symptoms you should go to hospital for.<\/p><p>Try to do the following during an attack:<\/p><ul><li>Lie flat on a firm surface, e.g. on the floor.<\/li><li>Try not to move your head.<\/li><li>Try to keep your eyes open and fix your gaze on a fixed object.<\/li><li>Don't eat or drink much.<\/li><li>If you are unable to keep fluids down for longer than 24 hours due to vomiting, call an ambulance.<\/li><\/ul><p>You may feel sleepy after an attack. It's okay to rest for a short time. However, try to get up slowly as soon as possible and move carefully so that you don't develop a fear of moving.<\/p><p>Let your friends and family know how to recognize an attack and what they can do to help you. Meniere's attacks can last quite a long time, so you should consider a strategy for prolonged care. Share your preferred care plan with friends, family and employers.<\/p><p><u>Find support<\/u><\/p><p>Understanding the disease can help you deal with it. It can be helpful to learn as much as possible about Meniere's disease.<\/p><p>Many people don't know much about Meniere's disease, so you may need to educate your family and friends about it. Let your family and friends know if there are certain things they can do to support you.<\/p><p>Some people find it helpful to talk to other sufferers. Support groups, whether online or in person, can help you share information and tips and reassure you that you are not alone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f01ac4f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1f01ac4f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-706f85 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"706f85\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-125a4cda elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"125a4cda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>What happens next?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2a6e54 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e2a6e54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What you can expect in the future.\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b952bbc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b952bbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As Meniere's disease is different for everyone, your doctor probably won't be able to tell you exactly what to expect. Some people have mild symptoms and only one or two attacks a year. Other people have severe symptoms and frequent attacks. For many people, the disease follows a pattern of remission and exacerbation, i.e. the symptoms get better for a while and then get worse again.<\/p><p>Meniere's disease changes over time. For many people, the vertigo attacks eventually disappear of their own accord. The tinnitus and ear pressure usually remain the same, whereas the hearing loss gets worse. In the later stages of the disease, sufferers may have severe balance problems.<\/p><p>In the later stages of Meniere's disease, some people have attacks where they fall to the ground without warning but do not lose consciousness. These attacks are called tumarkin attacks. The frequency of attacks can vary greatly from person to person. In most cases, the attacks disappear on their own.<\/p><p>Recent studies suggest that high-resolution MRI scans with contrast agent are a promising way to detect endolymphatic hydrops in patients with suspected Meniere's disease and to confirm the final diagnosis. So far, however, most radiology departments are not able to perform this type of examination.<\/p><p>Many researchers have suggested that Meniere's disease is caused by an accumulation of fluid in the inner ear. This results in an imbalance between the production of endolymph in the inner ear and its absorption in the endolymphatic sac. However, some recent research suggests that the endolymphatic sac not only absorbs but also produces endolymph and may therefore be responsible, in part, for too much fluid in the inner ear. This fundamental rethink has led to an experimental surgical technique in which the endolymphatic canal is blocked. In this blockage, a permanent staple is placed on the endolymphatic duct to separate the endolymphatic sac from the rest of the inner ear. Several small studies suggest that this blockade could lead to fewer vertigo attacks and an improved quality of life for people with Meniere's disease. In the small studies to date, hearing and vestibular function have been preserved. Research into this technique has not yet been completed and therefore, in view of the surgical risks, we would not recommend this technique as a treatment option for the time being.<\/p><p><strong>In order to keep this patient information as short as possible, we have not included a detailed list of references.
