What are the questions about Meniere’s disease?

  The occurrence of Ménière’s disease is greatly related to the patient’s constitution, genetics, emotions, work, and lifestyle, whether lifestyle control, medication, or surgery is only one aspect of treatment. Although there is no cure for Ménière’s disease, the majority of patients with Ménière’s disease can be controlled with active and standardized treatment, so please keep your confidence and work together with your doctor.  Patients with Ménière’s disease can consider surgery if they are not well controlled by conservative treatment. However, surgery itself does not directly solve the problem of tinnitus. Many patients do not experience any change in tinnitus after surgery, but some patients do feel a reduction in tinnitus as their condition improves.  Bad habits, great work pressure, bad mood, strain, insomnia, high salt diet, etc. may accelerate the recurrence of Ménière’s disease, so please pay more attention to them in general and start to prevent them from these details. If the attacks are frequent, you can take oral medications such as Mineralon, but they should be used after a clear diagnosis and under the guidance of a doctor.  The diagnosis of Ménière’s disease relies mainly on the typical medical history. The diagnosis of Ménière’s disease will be more meaningful if there is an audiogram for comparison between seizures and non-seizures. Therefore, if you suspect Ménière’s disease, you do not necessarily have to wait for an attack of vertigo to seek medical attention.
