Do you ever feel like the world is spinning around you or that your ears are suddenly ringing? If so, you may be experiencing symptoms of Meniere's disease. Meniere's disease is a disorder caused by an abnormal amount of fluid in the inner ear which affects both hearing and balance. It can cause patients to experience a range of symptoms from dizziness to tinnitus鈥攁nd it is important to understand what Meniere鈥檚 disease looks like so that it can be managed effectively if needed.

Meniere鈥檚 disease involves the combination of ear pressure, tinnitus, hearing loss, and vertigo, and is the result of excess pressure of endolymphatic fluid in the inner ear. However, atypical forms of Meniere鈥檚 disease may result in virtually any combination of the above symptoms. The disease typically persists for several months and may then go into remission. The condition may then re-emerge after periods of stress, dehydration, or high salt intake. Both the hearing and balance functions may diminish with such recurrences. Meniere鈥檚 disease usually occurs in only one ear but may involve both ears in 10% of patients. 

The three stages of treatment are as follows:

1. The first stage of treatment for Meniere鈥檚 disease involves diuretics, salt restriction, oral steroids, aggressive oral hydration, allergy treatment, and avoidance of caffeine, alcohol, and stress.
2. The second stage of treatment involves injections of steroids or gentamicin into the ear, the minimally invasive Meniett device, or endolymphatic sac-mastoid shunt surgery.
3. The third stage of treatment involves such measures as a labyrinthectomy or vestibular nerve section. Fortunately, the third stage of treatment is rarely necessary.

Of note, there is considerable overlap in symptoms between migraine-associated dizziness and Meniere鈥檚 disease, and the former should be considered in patients for whom treatments for presumed Meniere鈥檚 disease prove ineffective.
