There is not yet a cure, but most individuals with Meniere’s can find relief through diet, drugs, assistive devices, or surgery. Several theories include allergies, abnormal ear structure, viral infections, and genetics. Why people develop Meniere’s disease is unclear. ![]() Although it can develop at any age, it is more likely to affect individuals between 40 and 60 years of age. It is estimated that Meniere’s disease effects approximately 615,000 individuals in the United States, with 45,000 newly diagnosed cases each year. This leads to increased pressure that in turn produces vertigo that may be associated with fluctuating hearing loss and tinnitus. Any disturbance in this delicate relationship results in over-production or under-absorption of fluids. These fluids are constantly being produced and absorbed by the circulatory system. It is characterized by increased pressure of inner ear fluids. Meniere’s disease is an inner ear condition that causes repeated attacks of severe vertigo, a type of dizziness that makes one feel like they’re spinning. ![]()
