Meniere disease is a chronic vestibular disease that presents with recurrent attacks of vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and the sensation of ear pressure. However, the exact cause of Meniere disease is not directly known but is thought to be due to the accumulation of fluid within various parts of the inner ear. Especially vertigo can be very disabling and debilitating. Treatment can include medications, lifestyle changes, and, in the most severe cases, even surgery. Managing stress, lowering salt intake, and avoiding caffeine and alcohol can minimise the symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment can minimise the impact of Meniere on quality of life.
