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.
