- Definition: Meniere’s disease is a disorder of the inner ear characterized by episodes of vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and a feeling of fullness in the ear.

- Symptoms: Symptoms include episodes of vertigo lasting from minutes to hours, hearing loss (usually fluctuating), tinnitus, and ear fullness.
- Diagnosis: Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, audiometric tests showing low-frequency hearing loss, and exclusion of other causes of vertigo.
- Management: Treatment includes lifestyle modifications (e.g., reducing salt intake), medications (e.g., diuretics, anti-vertigo drugs), and in severe cases, surgical options or intratympanic injections.
- Complications: Untreated Meniere’s disease can lead to permanent hearing loss and worsening balance problems.
