Dr Ronald Chin’s Explanation Of Menier’s Disease
Menier’s disease is an inner ear disorder characterized by a combination of buzzing tinnitus, hearing loss, and pressure sensation with vertigo. It’s a rare disorder that rarely affects bilateral ears. The symptoms onset between the 3rd and 5th decade of life.
The causes behind this are poorly understood as most of the cases are idiopathic. Its symptoms may include vertigo attacks lasting from minutes to hours. It may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting, tinnitus, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss gradually affecting low frequencies, and sudden falls without loss of consciousness.
Treatment for the disease is avoiding caffeine, nicotine, high salt intake, and alcohol. Medications include antivertiginous drugs, betahistine, thiazide diuretics. For severe symptoms, consider vestibular neurectomy or transtypanic gentamicin.
