Meniere's disease usually affects only one ear and is a common cause of hearing loss. Named after French physician Prosper Meniere who first described the syndrome in 1861. The symptoms of Meniere's are variable and not all people experience the same symptoms. So called "classic Meniere's" is considered to comprise the following four symptoms:
- Sensation of fullness or pressure in one or both ears.
- Periodic episodes of rotary vertigo (abnormal sensation of movement) or dizziness.
- Unilateral or bilateral tinnitus (perception of noises, often ringing, roaring, or whooshing), sometimes variable.
- Fluctuating, progressive, unilateral (one ear) or bilateral (both ears) hearing loss, often initially in lower frequency range.
There is currently no cure for Meniere's disease. However, the symptoms of the disease are often controlled successfully by reducing the body's retention of fluids through dietary changes such as a low-salt or salt-free diet and no caffeine or alcohol, and medication. Scientists are investigating environmental and biological factors that may cause Meniere's disease or induce an attack.
