• #1 What Is Ménière’s Disease? — Diagnosis and Treatment

  https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/menieres-disease

  Mnires disease is a disorder of the inner ear that causes severe dizziness (vertigo), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), hearing loss, and a feeling of fullness or congestion in the ear. Mnires disease usually affects only one ear, but in 15% to 25% of people with the disorder, both ears may be affected. […] Attacks of dizziness may come on suddenly or after a short period of tinnitus or muffled hearing. Some people have single attacks of dizziness separated by long periods of time. Others may experience many attacks close together over several days. Some people with Mnires disease have vertigo so extreme that they lose their balance and fall. These episodes are called drop attacks. […] In people with Mnires disease, a buildup of endolymph in the labyrinth called endolymphatic hydrops disrupts normal balance and hearing signals between the inner ear and the brain. This disruption is also associated with vertigo and other Mnires disease symptoms, which can vary widely.

  https://www.menieres.org.uk/information-and-support/symptoms-and-conditions/menieres-disease

  Mnires disease/syndrome is a long term, progressive vestibular condition affecting the balance and hearing parts of the inner ear. Symptoms are acute attacks of vertigo (severe dizziness), fluctuating tinnitus, increasing deafness, and a feeling of pressure in the ear. […] Symptoms vary between people and over time. The main problems are unpredictable attacks of vertigo with nausea and vomiting. Attacks can last from a few minutes to 24 hours. There may also be tinnitus, hearing loss and a feeling of fullness in the affected ear. Periods of remission between attacks can vary from days to months or even years; making Mnires an unpredictable and distressing condition. As it progresses the vertigo may be less severe; however there may be periods of imbalance, adding to the distress. In the later stages tinnitus is more prominent and fluctuating hearing loss develops. There is permanent damage to the balance organ and significant balance problems are common. Usually only one ear is affected, but up to 50% of sufferers may develop the condition in both ears.

  Mnires disease (Menieres) is a disorder of the inner ear that sometimes seems to carry with it more questions than answers. […] Although it can come on at any age, most people with Mnires are 40 or older. Onset most often occurs between 40 and 60. […] More than anything else, Mnires tends to be known for the extreme and unpredictable dizziness that typically comes with itvertigo, with which the individual is overcome by an overwhelming sensation of spinning. Other telltale symptoms come with Mnires as well, but its the intense and random vertigo that many people find the most troublesome. […] The other common symptoms of Mnires include tinnitus (commonly called ringing in the ears), muffled hearing or the sensation that ones hearing has been blocked, and a feeling of congestion, fullness, or pressure in the affected ear.

  https://coloradoearcare.com/how-do-i-know-if-i-have-menieres-disease/

  Meniere’s disease is actually very rare — less than 1% of the population has it — and more often than not, the diagnosis ends up being BPPV or another temporary cause of vertigo, like certain medications or infection. […] Meniere’s disease is a disease of the inner ear that causes feelings of dizziness, tinnitus, and sometimes hearing loss. […] Those with Meniere’s disease experience a combination of uncomfortable and disorienting symptoms that make it a difficult disease to live with. Episodes of vertigo due to Meniere’s disease can be lengthy, and when combined with symptoms of ringing in the ears (tinnitus) or temporary hearing loss, the experience is unpleasant, to say the least. […] Meniere’s disease is usually diagnosed when some key differentiating symptoms are present: Two or more episodes of vertigo lasting at least 20 minutes each, Tinnitus, Temporary hearing loss, A feeling of fullness in the ear.

[…] Menieres disease usually has 4 main symptoms: Hearing loss in one ear, Aural fullness (fullness or pressure in the ear), Increased tinnitus (ringing in the ear), Vertigo, or dizziness. […] In early stages of the disease, exams between episodes can be completely normal. As the disease progresses, exams may show hearing loss and reduced sensitivity in the affected ear.

• #7 What is Meniere’s disease / syndrome? | Ménière’s Society

  https://www.menieres.org.uk/information-and-support/symptoms-and-conditions/menieres-disease

  It is widely believed that Mnires develops as a result of an increase in the pressure in the endolymphatic space. The symptoms of ear fullness and reduced hearing are likely to be related to this increase in pressure. The sudden release in pressure accounts for the sudden attacks of vertigo. Repeated episodes of high pressure and sudden releases of that pressure damage the delicate structures of the inner ear and the balance structures of the semi-circular canals. This cumulative damage results in a decline in hearing levels over time.

• #8 Ménière’s Disease – American Hearing Research Foundation

  https://www.american-hearing.org/disease/menieres-disease/

  The duration of these episodes varies considerably. Attacks can be relatively brief, lasting for about 20 minutes. Or they can last for many hours, even up to a day. […] When someone has Mnires, there is too much endolymph within the membranous labyrinth, which causes swelling and issues with the normal balance signals that are sent to the brain. […] The result is vertigo and other symptoms. […] The constant excess fluid also can shift the otolith organs, leading to changes to the normal structure of the inner ear. This can lead to chronic unsteadiness, even though the acute attacks may have dissipated. […] Its important for someone exhibiting the symptoms of Mnires to see a qualified physician to rule out other potential underlying causes of the symptoms and to get evidence-based treatment.

  Mnires disease (MD) is characterised by intermittent episodes of vertigo, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus and aural pressure. […] Histopathologically, endolymphatic hydrops are seen initially in the cochlear duct and saccule, and with progression of the disease subsequent involvement of the utricle and semicircular canals occurs. […] The findings of the current study suggest that with the advancement in the stage of MD, abnormal cVEMP, oVEMP, caloric and vHIT responses occur following the histopathological evidence of progression of the disease from the saccule up to the semicircular canals. […] In the earlier stages of MD, vertigo and vomiting were more pronounced, while dizziness was more evident in the late stages. […] Hearing loss was fluctuating in nature in the earlier stages of the disease with a low frequency configuration and accompanied by tinnitus and ear fullness.

Here are some of its life-affecting symptoms: A sensation of fullness, congestion, or pressure in the affected ear, often in only one ear. Vertigo – a feeling that you or the things around you are spinning out of control. The false perception is there, even when there is no movement at all. Episodes of vertigo happen unexpectedly and may occur at least 20 minutes up to several hours (but not more than 24 hours). Nausea and vomiting. Fluctuating hearing loss – without proper and immediate care, it may aggravate over time and turn permanent. Tinnitus – Buzzing, ringing, or hissing noises in the ear. Cognitive and mental fog. Meniere’s disease has phases: an aura, the early stage, attack stage, and in-between. There is also the late-stage of Meniere’s disease. The Aura Stage may include the following symptoms: Headaches, Dizziness or vertigo, Increased ear pressure, Tinnitus, Sensitivity to sound, Hearing loss, A vague sensation of uneasiness. The Early Stage symptoms may appear: Tinnitus, Spontaneous, violent vertigo, Ear fullness (called aural fullness), Fluctuating hearing loss. This stage is notorious for these symptoms: Nystagmus – uncontrolled eye jerking, Nausea and vomiting, Cold sweats, Anxiety and panic, Fast heart rate, Blurry vision, Trembling, Diarrhea, Heart palpitations. After the attack stage, you will be tired and may need to sleep for several hours to recover. Many patients remain symptom-free. However, others may continue to exhibit any of these symptoms: Fatigue or sleepiness, Appetite changes, Headaches, Heavy head sensation, Being easily distracted, Groping to find the correct words to say, Clumsiness, Diarrhea, Feeling faint or lightheaded, Difficulty concentrating, Sensitivity to sound, Sound distortion, Loss of self-reliance and self-confidence, A feeling of motion sickness, queasiness, or nausea, Anger, fear, worry, and anxiety, Vomiting, Problems with the vision– blurring, bouncing, glare intensification, focusing, etc. At this stage, you may feel the following: Issues with your vision and balance replace vertigo, More intense ear congestion and tinnitus, More significant and constant hearing loss, These symptoms can get worse when you are in low lighting, if you are fatigued, or if you see a lot of visually stimulating sights surrounding you, Drop attacks happen where you fall while conscious.

However, they continue to experience a constant sense of mild imbalance, tinnitus, and moderate hearing loss in the affected ear.

• #17 Ménière’s Disease – American Hearing Research Foundation

  https://www.american-hearing.org/disease/menieres-disease/

  What makes Mnires such an incapacitating disorder for many is the unpredictability and intensity of what people call attacks. A typical attack of Mnires often is preceded by fullness or a feeling of pressure or congestion in one ear. […] But typically, acute episodes are dominated by severe vertigothe feeling of spinning, which tends to come with associated imbalance, nausea, and/or vomiting. […] As Mnires progresses, however, symptoms can change. For some people, tinnitus and/or hearing loss become constant. […] Its noteworthy that hearing loss related to Mnires often affects the lower frequencies, unlike noise-induced hearing loss, which generally starts in the high frequencies. […] A particularly disabling symptom of Mnires, which is experienced by only some, is a sudden fall that may occur without warning and without any loss of consciousness.

  Menieres Disease can affect people in three different stages, with different types of symptoms in each stage. […] During the earliest stage of Menieres Disease, you will experience sporadic vertigo attacks. You might randomly feel unbalanced or like everything is spinning uncontrollably around you. During this stage, you will begin to experience hearing loss and increased tinnitus in the affected ear. In some cases, tinnitus will be the first symptom that can give you a warning that you’re about to experience a Menieres Disease attack. […] Once you reach the second stage, the vertigo attacks will come and go and start to become less severe. However, you will still experience imbalance and movement issues in addition to hearing loss and increased tinnitus. […] The last stage of Menieres Disease comes with significant hearing loss as vertigo begins to subside. It’s common to experience discomfort with specific sounds or general loudness. Some sounds may also sound distorted. As hearing becomes more difficult, your balance will continue to grow worse. You may feel unsteady, especially when walking in the dark or while dancing. Hearing difficulties may persist after the attack subsides.
