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.
Sudden hearing loss, the rapid loss of 30 decibels or more of hearing ability, can happen over several hours or up to 3 days. (A normal conversation is 60 decibels.) Sudden hearing loss usually affects only one ear. Although there are up to 3 new cases per every 10,000 people each year, doctors are not able to discover the cause in most cases. Illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes put ears at risk by interfering with the ears' blood supply.
