Meniere’s Disease Symptoms
Menieres Disease
If you suffer with Meniere’s disease then you know that you can expect sudden bouts of vertigo. Vertigo is the feeling that you are spinning or dizzy. This can be accompanied by feeling nauseous, actual vomiting and a general feeling of imbalance. Once an attack has run its course, you are going to feel like sleeping as you are going to be very tired.
These are the most common Meniere’s disease symptoms along with tinnitus or ringing of the ears. These symptoms can be brief or can last for a long period of time.
Many times medication like anti depressants can keep the Meniere’s disease at bay. While there is no known cure, the disease can be controlled to some degree. Some may find that using a hearing aid is going to help as well. Anti-vertigo medications can also help to alleviate the symptoms of this disease.
Many feel that this disease is the cause of inner ear infections or injury. There are no conclusive reports to support this theory however. Since there is no cure, finding out the cause is vital if it is going to be cured. Now, all that can be done is to make sure that the person who suffers from is can maintain a normal lifestyle. There are many studies that are being conducted to come up with exact answers as to how this disease is contracted and cured.
If you have never had these symptoms but suddenly are feeling them, you should get checked by your doctor. Only a physician can prescribe the proper medications so you can get on with your life. Just remember that this can be brought on by stress so it is important to always stay calm.
Try to keep the stress levels down in all areas of your life.
Meniere’s Disease Tinnitus
Meniere’s disease is closely associated with tinnitus because hearing noises in the affected ear is part of the symptoms. It’s not known exactly what causes Meniere’s disease tinnitus but it basically occurs when the volume of the fluid changes in a part of the inner ear that’s known as the labyrinth.
This condition can affect anyone at anytime without any warning. It can vary when it comes to the length of time that it last, its frequency and its intensity each time it occurs. As a result, the patient has no idea of how long or painful it will be when it strikes.
Symptoms of Meniere’s disease
- Tinnitus
- Loss of hearing
- Pressure in the ear that’s affected
- Shaky or wobbly feeling
- Headaches
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Vertigo
Vertigo is the worse symptom of Meniere’s disease. Similar to the other symptoms, it can happen very quickly and usually without any warning. Vertigo can occur everyday of a person’s life or just once in a while. It can be debilitating because it causes the person to experience a “whirling dizziness”, which can also cause severe vomiting, sweating and nausea. Normally, the person must lie down until it passes.
Usually, the patients hearing will improve during the time in-between attacks. However, as this disease progresses, their hearing will begin to get worse and it can eventually cause permanent damage. Having Meniere’s disease can be very frustrating and painful. Hearing a constant noise in one or both ears can make it difficult to function normally. This is especially true when the noises are loud.
It’s difficult to hear or understand what someone else is saying so asking others to repeat themselves is often necessary. It makes it difficult to sleep or concentrate and many times it causes the person to feel emotionally distress. Depression and irritability often accompanies Meniere’s disease as well.

Stress Tinnitus And Meniere’s Disease
Hi Johm,
I just received 6 btls. tg -07 and tg -11 I ordered.. I work at the airport for 13 yrs. and had stapes surgery in my left ear 6 yrs. ago. I noticed 2 yrs. after the surgery I experienced the tinnitus , dizzeness and vertigo problem. I don’t know if this is the side effect of the surgery. I am now taking serc 16 mg medication for my vertigo. Can I take the TG-07, TG-11 together with my serc medication?
Some ENT doctors are recommending surgery like ear semi canal drianage operation and other surgeries to cure my vertigo and tinnitus. What do you think? I have tried other medications like herbal tincture ear drops. I just very disperate for a cure of my medical condition.
Thank you.
Ricardo
What T-Gone tinnitus product would you recommend?
Hello John
Thanks for the reply.
A few questions / comments:
1) I have sent an e-mail to Ellen, which I saw she read – but no reply to date.
2) I do not spend any time in clubs.
3) I do not work in a factory or environment with loud noise.
4) No vehicle accident with air bags involved.
5) I could only think of ONE incident, which I described in my initial e-mail. When air from a hair dryer was accidentally blown full into my left ear. And I coud feel the air “penetrated” my ear – not just blowing “externally” on my ear. This is the only “physical” thing I can think of.
6) The ENT specialist reckon it was Meniere’s (because I had Menieres 7 years ago). During Sept 2008 when the ear got “blocked”, I did not have any flu or cold symptoms and definatley not any Meniere’s symptoms. I therefore doubt in my personal opinion the ENT opinion that it was Meniere’s.
7) Final and ultimate question : “What T-Gone product would you then recommend?“. The one for Meniere’s or the one for Noise Damage?
In your words “hang in there”. But I want to try something to cure the tinitus.
Thanks again.
Johan
Hello Johan,
Ellen is actually inundated at present as a result of us moving house. In fact as I write this we are in South Africa with my daughter
It’s been hectic but we will be back on track next week!
The tinnitus you are experiencing is very likely to be caused from the initial attack of Meniere’s disease 7 years ago. Whenever you experience a bout of Meniere’s, much damage is done to the sensitive inner ear organs with some high frequency hearing loss and tinnitus often a result.
This is why we actually have the two remedies to treat meniere’s disease. One to treat the vertigo and nausea and the other to treat the damage to the delicate inner ear organs.
This is in fact our very popular Type 4 Cochlea Damage Tinnitus Remedy.
So to answer your final question, you should order the Type 4 Cochlea Damage Tinnitus Remedy as you do not seem to be bothered with the Meniere’s disease symptoms.
Kind regards,
John Currie
