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.
Noise- and age-related hearing loss usually affect the part of the inner ear that converts sound waves into nerve signals. Called sensorineural hearing loss, the problem typically causes a loss of hearing at higher frequencies, including sounds associated with human speech. Conductive hearing loss, by contrast, is more common in people under 40 and occurs when the outer ear or middle ear is blocked.
