Ménière's Disease Ménière's Disease is believed to occur when the pressure of the endolymphatic fluid in the cochlear increases. The increased pressure destroys the sensory hair cells causing deafness, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and a sensation of fullness in the ears. If the pressure in the endolymphatic fluid gets very high, the membrane enclosing it may fail, allowing the fluid to escape into the other compartments of the cochlear. Chemical changes then take place as the fluids from the different compartments mix - causing the sensation of vertigo. Ménière's Disease gets its name from the French physician Prosper Ménière who first described it in 1861. Nobody knows what causes Ménière's Disease and although it is possible to treat the symptoms, at present there is no cure. Symptoms Vertigo Ménière's Disease causes attacks of vertigo which if severe can make the sufferer feel extremely unwell and unable to carry on with normal life. The attacks, which may consist of dizziness, nausea, vomiting and sweating can last for hours or even days. The period between attacks can vary between a few days and several years. Pressure Sufferers may have a feeling of "fullness" in the ear which is similar to the sensation experienced by aircraft passengers, when the air pressure in their ears fails to equalise. The feeling of "fullness" in the ear can often warn sufferers that they are going to have an attack.

Pilots and "Menieres Disease" - The Silent Illness By Gary Bowers Menieres Disease is a condition not well known, yet devastating to thousands of people nationwide, including aviators. The disease is named after the French physician Prosper Meniere who, in 1861, linked a particular kind of hearing loss to a lesion of the inner ear. The definition of Menieres Disease is "idiopathic syndrome of endolymphatic hydrops." This means that Menieres Disease has no known cause (is idiopathic), is characterized by a group of signs and symptoms, and is thought to be associated with endolymphatic hydrops, an abnormal enlargement of the innermost of the two fluid-filled spaces of the inner ear. Unfortunately this enlargement cannot be seen or measured with absolute certainty during the llifetime of a human being. The symptoms include aural pressure (a feeling of occasional to constant pressure in one or both ears), tinnitus (ringing in the ears), hearing loss, and vertigo. What does this mean to a pilot? GROUNDED! It ended Alan Shepard's career as an astronaut. A person who suffers from Menieres Disease can experience some or all of the above symptoms. Some people have vertigo attacks that are so bad that they are completely disabled by the disease. The National Institutes of Health estimates that about 545,000 in the U.S. had Menieres as of 1998 and that 38,250 people are diagnosed each year. There are no known causes or cures and only limited treatment options available.

Waldo Jaquith Waldo Jaquith's personal weblog. One day in late November '97, just before Thanksgiving, I woke up feeling a bit dizzy. "Maybe," I thought to myself, "I'm just tired." I stumbled down the hall to the bathroom, bouncing off of walls a few times, to take a shower. When shampooing my hair, eyes closed and head tilted back, I became disoriented and nearly fell. By the end of the day it had gotten considerably worse. I was unable to turn my head without feeling funny. As a graphic designer, I spend much of the day looking at my computer screen. When I looked beyond my computer and out the window I would get an odd spinning sensation. By 5:00 PM that day, upon leaving my office, I was unable to walk down the street without one hand on the shop windows. This was not the first time that this had happened to me. Two years earlier, while working at The Java Hut, a Charlottesville coffeeshop, I'd experienced something quite similar. It lasted for a week. I took a motion-sickness drug, as perscribed over the phone by my doctor, which took away the nausea. I was unable to work while the symptoms persisted, though they ebbed and finally disappeared within a few days. Now, a couple of years later, I was curious why this had reoccurred. Once again, I called my doctor. He asked if I'd had any colds recently, or if I was on any medication. It was a negative on each count. He named a few potential problems, none of which meant anything to me. His suggestion was to try taking Meclizine, an over-the-counter motion-sickness pill. It wouldn't take away the dizziness, but it would keep me from feeling ill as a result of it. That sounded good to me. I bought some that very night at CVS.

Department of Otolaryngology Health-Related Library Meniere's Disease Function of the Ear The ear is divided into three parts; the external ear, middle ear and inner ear. Each part performs an important function in hearing and/or maintenance of balance. What is Meniere's Disease? Meniere's disease is a problem with the fluid balance regulating system in the inner ear. The exact cause of the disease remains unknown. It is defined as the symptom complex of; episodic vertigo (vertigo being the sensation of spinning or whirling), tinnitus (hissing, ringing or roaring usually in one ear), fluctuating hearing loss (usually in the ear with tinnitus) and aural pressure (feeling of fullness or pressure in the involved ear). All these symptoms form a pattern which makes up "Classical Meniere's Disease". This pattern is usually a sensation of pressure build up in one ear with increasing tinnitus and a drop in hearing. Then the vertigo comes, often quite suddenly, and may last for hours or days. The severe vertigo subsides and balance may takes weeks to return to normal. Once the vertigo attack is over, hearing often improves. What problem in the inner ear causes all this trouble?

Ménières syndrome Ménières syndrome is due to endolymphatic hydrops (glaucoma of the ear!) and is characterized by a tetrad pressure, discomfort, fullness in the ear fluctuating hearing loss fluctuating tinnitus episodic vertigo. The syndrome may be idiopathic, in which case it is called "Ménières disease", or secondary to various processes that lead to interference with the normal resorption of endolymph, e.g. neurosyphilis (and possibly Lyme disease), following viral infections (sometimes years later), after trauma, with congenital anomalies, etc. Transient ischemic attacks microvascular compression syndromes , thyroid disease, autoimmune processes (es pecially sarcoid, periarteritis, giant cell arteritis, Susac's and Cogan's syndromes) otosclerosis, perilymphatic fistula , multiple sclerosis, diamox responsive recurrent vertigo and ataxia, vestibular epilepsy and < a href="../disorders/migraine.html"> vestibular migraine are also in the list of differential diagnoses. There is a particularly high incidence of migraine in patients with Ménières disease so that treatment may have to be directed at both entities. In most instances, full blown attacks of Ménières are probably caused by an increase in endolymphatic pressure that leads to a break in the membrane separating perilymph (extracellular, potassium poor) and endolymph (intracellular, potassium rich) . The p otassium rich endolymph then bathes the vestibular nerve leading to a depolarization block and a transient loss of function, creating an acute vestibular imbalance, until the membrane is repaired and normal K Na relationships are restored. A physical distention leading to a mechanical disturbance of the utricle or saccule may also produce symptoms, for example, causing the

The most conservative long-term treatment reduced-sodium diet Medications can help during an attack to reduce the vertigo, nausea/vomiting or both.

Meniere's Disease What is Meniere's disease? Meniere's disease (MD) is a benign condition of the inner ear, resulting from increased pressure within scala media, an inner ear compartment that is filled with the fluid, endolymph. By definition, it is idiopathic - it has no known cause - and there is no identifiable pattern of inheritance. MD episodically may affect hearing, balance, or both. This means that there usually are periods of time when patient's are relatively free of symptoms. At other times, often unpredictably, the symptoms occur as described below. MD usually involves only one ear. However, 30% of patients eventually experience symptoms in both ears. If both ears are involved early in the course of MD, there may be a specific physical cause outside of the ears that needs to be identified. MD often is characterized by classic, large, definitive spells that frequently are severe in the affected ear, last 20 minutes to several hours, and may be result in nausea and vomiting. If MD affects hearing, the cochlea is involved, and patient's may experience hearing loss, tinnitus (see our link on
