Meniere's disease

Meniere's disease is a pattern, not a single test. The clinic documents that pattern and can treat selected cases with an intratympanic steroid injection.

What people notice

  • Attacks of spinning that last minutes to hours, not a second.
  • Fullness or pressure in one ear.
  • Tinnitus and hearing that come and go in that ear.

Come in sooner if

  • A first attack with a clear drop in hearing.
  • Attacks are coming closer together.
  • Hearing is not recovering between spells.

How this clinic looks at it

  • Audiometry, often repeated, to catch the fluctuating loss.
  • Balance tests when the history asks for them.

What care can include

  • Intratympanic dexamethasone in selected cases.
  • He is a co-author of a 2015 study of that injection in the Egyptian Journal of Otolaryngology.
  • Vestibular rehabilitation between attacks.
  • A hearing aid if a lasting loss remains.

This is general information about the practice, not a diagnosis for you.
