MENIER'S DISEASE
85% of sufferers have the
complaint in one ear only. The complaint is a disorder of the inner ear that
causes deafness, tinnitus and vertigo. Increased fluid in the membranous
labyrinth (the balance control canals of the inner ear) causes Menier's disease.
This increase sometimes damages the cochlea (a spiral organ of the inner ear
that receives a sound and tells the brain what it is) as well as the labyrinth.
In most cases why there is an increase of fluid in the first place is not known,
but there are not very many cases of Menier's disease in the under 50's.
A sudden attack of vertigo is usually the main symptom and can be so severe
that the sufferer actually falls to the ground. This vertigo is normally
accompanied by nausea, vomiting, abnormally jerky eye movements, tinnitus and
pain pressure in the ears. Attacks can last from a few minutes to several hours
and between the attacks the deafness and tinnitus tend to linger.
