  Mnires disease is a chronic inner ear disorder affecting balance and hearing. […] Mnires disease is defined by spontaneous vertigo attacks, each lasting 20 minutes to 12 hours, with low- to mid-frequency sensorineural hearing loss in the affected ear before, during, or after one of the episodes of vertigo. […] In many patients, the most detrimental decline in hearing and balance function occurs within the first decade of diagnosis, yet patients continue to have longstanding deficits that make Mnires disease a chronic disease. It is important to evaluate and document the hearing in both ears as a subset of patients will eventually experience Mnires disease bilaterally. […] A cure for Mnire’s disease does not yet exist, but lifestyle modifications and treatments can help patients. […] Treatments include reducing the bodys retention of fluids through dietary changes (e.g., eliminating or reducing salt, caffeine, and/or alcohol). Medications such as antihistamines, anticholinergics, and diuretics may lower endolymphatic pressure by reducing the amount of endolymphatic fluid.

• #5 Ménière’s disease: management in primary care

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8686442/

  Mnires disease is an idiopathic disorder of the inner ear causing the debilitating vestibular and auditory symptoms of vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness; vertigo attacks are the most problematic facet of the disease for sufferers. […] The effect on patients daily living can be significant. Eighty-six per cent of patients found that their job performance suffered as a result of their Mnires and 70% had to modify their work in some way to accommodate this. […] Initial management is with dietary alterations. This is a long-established practice, although the evidence base is limited. Sodium restriction is proposed to help by reducing endolymphatic pressure and is defined as 2000 mg/day. Dietary restrictions to sodium have been shown to be efficacious in reducing the frequency and severity of vertigo attacks, and caffeine restriction is likely also beneficial.

  You have seen your health care provider for Ménière disease. During Ménière attacks, you may have vertigo, or the feeling that you are spinning. You may also have hearing loss (most often in one ear) and ringing or roaring in the affected ear, called tinnitus. You may also have pressure or fullness in the ears. […] During attacks, some people find bed rest helps relieve vertigo symptoms. Your provider may prescribe medicines like diuretics (water pills), antihistamines, or anti-anxiety medicines to help. Surgery may be used in some cases with persistent symptoms, although this has risks and is rarely recommended. […] There is no cure for Ménière disease. However, making some lifestyle changes can help prevent or reduce attacks. […] Eating a low-salt (sodium) diet helps reduce the fluid pressure in your inner ear. This can help control symptoms of Ménière disease. Your provider may recommend cutting back to 1000 to 1500 mg of sodium per day. This is about ½ to ¾ teaspoon (2.5 to 4 grams) of salt.

  Mnires disease is an idiopathic disorder of the inner ear causing the debilitating vestibular and auditory symptoms of vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness; vertigo attacks are the most problematic facet of the disease for sufferers. […] The effect on patients daily living can be significant. Eighty-six per cent of patients found that their job performance suffered as a result of their Mnires and 70% had to modify their work in some way to accommodate this. […] Initial management is with dietary alterations. This is a long-established practice, although the evidence base is limited. Sodium restriction is proposed to help by reducing endolymphatic pressure and is defined as 2000 mg/day. Dietary restrictions to sodium have been shown to be efficacious in reducing the frequency and severity of vertigo attacks, and caffeine restriction is likely also beneficial.

  Direct delivery of medications to the inner ear may help reduce symptoms associated with Menieres disease. […] Typically, a series of steroid (dexamethasone) injections is the first option. If that fails, ENT specialists may opt for a series of antibiotic (gentamicin) injections. The goal of this medication is to purposefully disable balance nerves that cause vertigo. […] The following are more complex surgeries for Menieres disease that require general anesthesia. […] Typically reserved for people who already have severe or total hearing loss in the affected ear, this surgery removes the labyrinth (the inner ear balance organ), eliminating the source of dizziness. […] This procedure removes the bone located over the endolymphatic sac (a pouch that helps drain fluid from the inner ear), allowing it to function better.

  There are a few surgical procedures that may be used to reduce symptoms of Meniere’s disease. An endolymphatic sac decompression (ESD) is used to place a valve in the inner ear to help fluid drain. ESD is used to decrease vertigo, but it does not improve hearing. A labyrinthectomy is used to remove the labyrinth and nerve responsible for balance. Rehabilitation follows the surgery to improve balance. Like ESD, labyrinthectomy does not improve hearing. A vestibular neurectomy is a procedure that can cure vertigo in most cases. It involves making an incision in the nerve responsible to “disconnect” it in the inner ear. This procedure is the preferred surgery if a person still has good hearing. A vestibular neurectomy does not involve the nerves used for hearing and does not decrease hearing.
