What is Meniere's disease ? In 1861, the French physician Prosper Ménière described a condition which now bears his name. Ménière's disease is a disorder of the inner ear which causes episodes of vertigo, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear, and fluctuating hearing loss. In figure 1, the area of the ear affected is the entire labyrinth, which includes both the semicircular canals and the cochlea. A typical attack of Ménière's disease is preceded by fullness in one ear. Hearing fluctuation or changes in tinnitus may also precede an attack. A Ménière's episode generally involves severe vertigo (spinning), imbalance, nausea and vomiting. The average attack lasts two to four hours. Following a severe attack, most people find that they are exhausted and must sleep for several hours. There is a large amount of variability in the duration of symptoms. Some people experience brief "shocks", and others have constant unsteadiness. An unusual sensitivity to visual stimuli is common. (Lacour, 1997)

St Vincent´s Hospital Sydney (A Teaching Hospital of the University of NSW) Department of Otolaryngology/ Head and Neck Surgery MENIERE'S DISEASE What is Meniere's Disease? In 1861, Dr Prosper Meniere, head of the Institute of Deaf Mutes in Paris, described a series of patients with episodic vertigo, tinnitus (noises in the ear) and fluctuating hearing loss. This set of symptoms is now known as Meniere's Disease. The cause of Meniere's Disease The cause of Meniere's Disease remains unknown but is likely to be connected with a number of factors. Meniere's Disease is associated with endolymphatic hydrops or an over-accumulation of fluids in the inner ear. Congenital or hereditary ear abnormalities, infections or trauma to the ear may be predisposing factors. The role of the immune system is being extensively investigated by the research unit at St Vincent's Hospital. Symptoms In the early stages of Meniere's Disease, symptoms consist of clusters of acute attacks of rotatory dizziness or vertigo. The sensation of dizziness may last for a number of hours with associated nausea, vomiting and sometimes diarrhoea. The attack may occur without any obvious warning, or may be associated with increased ringing in the ear (tinnitus), fullness or hearing distortion. The hearing tends to worsen during attacks and to return to normal after the acute dizziness ceases. As the disease progresses, the hearing fluctuates less but worsens progressively with continued tinnitus and fullness. Some patients have long periods without vertigo attacks.

Epidemiology of Menieres Disease Timothy C. Hain, MD, Please see our . Last updated: 3/24/00 Return to Index There is considerable disagreement in the world literature about the incidence (new cases/year) and prevalence (all cases in population) of Menieres disease. To summarize, it appears that that Menieres disease has a prevalance of about 200 cases/100,000 persons in the United States, or in other words, about 0.2 % of the population, but that prevalence may vary internationally, possibly being lower by as much as a factor of 10 in some populations. The prevalence increases with age, rather linearly. For England, Cawthorne and Hewlett (1954) reported 157 cases/100,000 cases based on the records of 8 general practices in England during the year ending March 1952. It is unclear in their report whether those figures reflect incidence or prevalence. If prevalence, this figure would be quite similar to a figure reported for the US by Wadislowvsky and associates, later). While others have suggested a prevalence rate as high as 1% (e.g. Morrison, 1995; Harrison and Naftalin, 1968), there seems to be little good evidence for this asertion. In Japan there have been several large epidemiological studies. In these studies they defined Menieres as the combination of repeated attacks of vertigo, fluctuating cochlear symptoms with vertigo, and exclusion of other diseases (Watanabe et al, 1995). They reported average age of onset of 41-42 years of age, with a peak incidence at age 30-39. The prevalence was 16-17 per 100,000. This figure appears low. A more recent study of Shojaku and Watanabe (1997) found a prevalence of between 21.4 and 36.6, which may still be a low estimate.

I have had Meniere's Disease all my life. I also have chronic ear infections, again all my life. I've had a lot of ear operations over the years and had a top South Australian ENR (Ear Nose and Throat) specialist who performed these operations with the latest technique. Unfortunately, I could hear ok for awhile after the op but the hearing went away after a few weeks only to return to the ringing of the ears and ear infections. It feels terrible when you have a dizzy spell. You can't move very well at all and you feel the floor come up at you. I also feel nauseus at the time. I have to stop what I am doing and wait for it to pass. What I hate the most is the ringing in my ears. Sometimes it is high pitched others it is like a rushing noise. During childhood I used to put my hands over my ears if there was a certain noise like a whistle blowing or an alarm bell, or a siren blaring and other noises. I need to get my ears cleaned out every 6 months and with my current infection I have made an appointment with my specialist. Below tells us what this disease is.

Menieres is classified as a inner ear disorder that causes repeated attacks of dizziness and the discomfort of fullness from the affected ear. This is due to increase pressure of the inner ear fluids. Fluids in the inner ear chambers are constantly being produced and absorbed by the circulatory system. If there are any disturbance in the delicate relationship, this results is over production or under absorption of the fluids. This leads to increase fluid pressure (which may be felt) that usually produces dizziness which can be associated with fluctuating hearing loss and ringing in the ear. It is rare for someone to be affected in both ears at the same time.

MENIERE'S DISEASE Normal Hearing Symptoms Evaluations Medical Management ... Surgical Treatments Normal Hearing The ear is divided into three parts: external ear, middle ear, and inner ear. Sound travels along the external ear canal, causing the eardrum to vibrate. Three small bones of the middle ear (malleus, incus, and stapes) conduct this vibration from the ear drum to the cochlea of the inner ear, causing waves of fluid in the cochlea to stimulate its delicate hearing cells (hair cells). Movement of the hair cells generates an electrical current in the auditory nerve, which in turn transmits signals to the brain. Through various interconnections these signals are recognized as sound. Symptoms tinnitus Evaluations Auditory: pure tones and speech discrimination Electronystagmography: balance canal function as seen through eye movements General health evaluation Auditory brainstem response(ABR) and Otoacoustic emission tests Balance testing Antibody measurement Glucose (sugar) metabolism Blood: systemic infection Magnetic resonance imaging of the inner ear and hearing nerve Medical Management 1.

15. Meniere's Disease some major adjustments to my life, all due to one disease that seems as determined to keep me down as I am to keep myself up, it s called menieres disease. http://www.geocities.com/missnmiss/Menieres.html

MENIERE'S DISEASE Recently I've had to make some major adjustments to my life, all due to one disease that seems as determined to keep me down as I am to keep myself up, it's called Menieres Disease. I remember as a child I loved having someone pick me up by my arms and twirl me around and around, then let go of me. I'd stumble around like I was drunk and think it was so funny. Today that spinning effect is anything but funny, especially when the effect is increased by five times or better. I used to get so excited when the phone or doorbell would ring, now I can barely hear it above the constant rings that pain my ears. I used to love playing with water balloons, rolling them back and forth from hand to hand just to fill the fullness of them. Now I'm tired of that same fullness, which rest consistently behind my left ear. I've never been a drinker, as a matter of fact I protest it at any opportunity, but lately I'm always afraid someone seeing me walk with a stagger may think I've changed my beliefs and picked up the horrible habit. Yeah, for me, life is surely changed, but with God's help this is only one more stumbling block on my path to self- growth, I shall pass this paths obstacle, as I have all those before me. But in the meantime I've included these links to my page in an effort to provide information to anyone else who may have an interest in the disease. Feel free to browse these links and just in case you don't find these personal enough and would like to talk to someone who has the disease, feel free to email me.

16. What Is The Meniere's Disease? What is the Meniere s disease? Three of those invisible illnesses are menieres disease, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. http://co.essortment.com/menieresdiseas_rqmr.htm

What is the Meniere's disease? Invisible illnesses such as Meniere's Disease have common symptoms and are commonly misunderstood by those not affected by them. Many chronic illnesses have deformities or other symptoms that are easily observed by others. Other chronic illnesses have few, if any, outward signs. Three of those invisible illnesses are Menieres Disease, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. These three separate and distinct diseases share many of the same symptoms. They are all often misdiagnosed and are little understood by those who are not personally affected. Their diagnosis is more a process of elimination rather than one or two definitive tests. The symptoms in common include dizziness, fatigue, depression, cognitive disturbances, interrupted sleep patterns, headaches or other forms of pain. bodyOffer(18149) Prosper Meneire of France called it Episodic Cochleo-Vestibulopathy when he first diagnosed Menieres Disease in 1861. It is thought that many famous historical persons have suffered from this disease including Martin Luther, Alan Shepherd, and Vincent Van Gogh, who sliced off his own ear in an attempt to end the maddening tinnitus that is a major symptom. A common alternative name is Endolymphatic Hydrops. Menieres Disease most frequently affects men and women equally and is often diagnosed between the ages of 30 to 50, although there have been documented cases where the patient was as young as 10. Menieres Disease can affect one ear (unilateral) or both (bilateral).

19. Menieres Disease - My Experiences A first hand look at Meniere s disease. The personal story of one person who beat this inner ear disorder. My Experience With Meniere s Disease. http://www.zimfamilycockers.com/menieres.html

My Experience With Meniere's Disease written by Jim Zimmerlin Meniere's Disease An Overview Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that can cause severe dizziness, vomiting, ringing in the ears, and can disable you for the better part of a day or more. It is a non-fatal, non-curable condition. Non-curable? Well, think of it like having an allergy to something... nothing they can do will make you no longer allergic to whatever it is you're allergic to... but once you understand the fact that you do have this allergic condition, you can find ways to avoid triggering it. My personal battle with Meniere's My experience with Meniere's disease began during the first half of 1995... I had a total of about a dozen severe attacks over six months or so. During an attack I would get extremely dizzy within a matter of 5 or 10 minutes. Sometimes I would begin vomiting. During an attack I was too dizzy to walk or do anything except lie down. The most effective strategy to feel better seemed to be lying down very still, taking Meclizine and a good nap. After about an hour or two I could feel it start to work... but I usually still felt pretty lousy, or as Meniere's sufferers often say "out of sorts", for about a day after an attack. At first I had no idea what was causing my attacks nor did I really understand the nature of the problem at all. After several visits to the emergency room and a referral to a good ear/nose/throat specialist, I came to learn that it was Meniere's disease. My doctor was able to explain it a little, but I was able to learn quite a bit more about Meniere's from looking it up on the Internet.

It is very helpful in validating the more minor Menieres symptoms your physician may not have explained to you as being due to this disease.

Should you reach the surgical level, this book diagrams and explains the options, risks, and outcomes to result in an informed decision. I was on the fast-track to surgery, but after reading the book, I found the drug betahistine mentioned. I discussed this with my specialist, and he consented in giving it a try. While this drug therepy dosent work for everyone, it gave me my life back. Might I have found this therapy in another book? Maybe...but I didnt.
