By David Foyt, M.D. This paper covers basic information about Meniereâs Disease, Its Possible Causes and Implications. Meniere'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. It was. first described by a French physician Dr. Prosper Meniere (illustrated above) in 1861.
Conductive hearing loss -- damage to ear drum or ossicular chain. Disruption to the ear drum or ossicular chain can cause conductive hearing loss. This means that hearing is better through bone than air. When the ear drum is perforated but ossicles remain attached the the reminant, hearing is reduced for air condition. Disruption to the ossicular chain -- the tiny bones between the ear drum and inner ear, can cause nearly complete hearing loss. Blood or fluid within the middle ear can reduce hearing.
