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.
Though there are about 4,000 new cases of sudden hearing loss a year, doctors figure out the cause only 10% to 15% of the time. Illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes put ears at risk by interfering with the ears' blood supply. Otosclerosis is a bone disease of the middle ear, and MÃ©niÃ¨re's disease affects the inner ear. Both can cause hearing loss.
