These include loss of balance, dizziness, headache, increased hearing loss or tinnitus, sensitivity to noises and pressure in the ear.

These symptoms may include anxiety, blurry vision, nausea, vomiting, trembling, rapid pulse and diarrhea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterward, exhaustion often sets in, leading to an increased need for sleep. Attacks may be brief, lasting for as little as 20 minutes, or may persist for as long as 24 hours. Their frequency is unpredictable and sporadic; they may occur several times a week, or as little as once every few years. Due to the unpredictable nature of this disease, it\u2019s impossible to tell just how much it will affect your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s Disease Diagnosed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the symptoms of M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s disease resemble those associated with other conditions, we will need to perform hearing and balance tests to make a diagnosis.

Hearing aids will help treat hearing loss associated with M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s. Individuals who cannot find relief from other treatments may have success with surgery. Effective procedures include an operation to drain fluid from the inner ear, nerve surgery to eliminate dizziness, preserve hearing and a labyrinthectomy to control dizziness.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Call Premier Medical Group for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s disease is an inner ear disorder that causes fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo and fullness or pressure in the ear.
