Meniere's Info

Meniere's disease is an abnormality of the inner ear causing a host of symptoms, including vertigo or severe dizziness, tinnitus or a roaring sound in the ears, fluctuating hearing loss, and the sensation of pressure or pain in the affected ear.

The disorder usually starts in one ear and will eventually move to the other one. It is a common cause of hearing loss.

Many experts on Meniere's disease think that traumatic Meniere's is caused by a rupture of the membranous labyrinth. The rupture allows the endolymph to mix with perilymph.

The symptoms of Meniere's disease occur suddenly and can arise daily or as infrequently as once a year. Common symptoms include abnormal sensation of movement of self or the environment (vertigo), dizziness, hearing loss in one ear, low frequency noises, vomiting, sweating and uncontrollable eye movement.
