How To Recognize Meniere’s Disease

There are many problems that the inner ear can have, usually results in dizziness. Meniere’s disease is one such problem. It is defined as an “abnormality” of the inner ear and was first described in 1861 from Prosper Meniere from which it is named. The condition can last for a day, a month, or a year or more at a time. It is generally in one ear and can lead to hearing loss. There is research being done to determine any environmental issues that could cause Meniere’s Disease.

Symptoms of Meniere’s Disease
These signs are the same for most any inner ear condition, only your healthcare provider will be able to tell you if it is Meniere’s.

Vertigo, extreme dizziness – Can be slight or so bad the person must lie down from it.
Tinnitus, ear noise or ringing – Especially at night when they are trying to sleep.
Pressure in the ear – Pressure and fullness in the ear, like an ear ache.
Hearing loss – Can be slight or severe, and last from a few minutes to a few hours.

Possible Symptoms of Meniere’s Disease
There are three other possibly related symptoms, but these must accompany the above symptoms for it to be Meniere’s. Having a headache does not mean that you have inner ear disease alone. Please check with your doctor for any and all signs you may be experiencing:

Headaches
Diarrhea
Stomach pain

Any of the symptoms can occur in varying frequencies and varying severities. It is a very strange condition in that there is no rhyme or reason when the symptoms will hit and become worse.

Treating Meniere’s
While there isn’t a cure available, you can change your diet to help stop fluid retention. This retaining of fluid has been shown to really help in symptoms and a low-salt diet can help tremendously in living with Meniere’s Disease. Stopping stress, tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine can show some signs of lower symptoms and better length between attacks. There are some surgeries that can be done if the hearing is gone completely from the affected ear, but typically is reserved until then because of the removal of the inner ear sense organ called a labyrinthectomy.

Some alternative treatments that could help the symptoms because of their use in relieving stress can include acupuncture, acupressure, massage, yoga, and supplements. Caffeine and alcohol removal, with tobacco, keeps stimulants from irritating the sensitive ear and helps cease some of the aggravation with the condition.

Meniere’s Disease Sufferers Should Explore Relief Options

If you’ve been diagnosed with Meniere’s disease, a disorder of the inner ear that wreaks havoc on your sensory perceptions, you’re not alone. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other communication Disorders, an estimated 615,000 people in the U.S. have the disease.

While people in their 40s and 50s are more likely than other age groups to develop Meniere’s disease, it can affect people of any age. Symptoms include the sensation of spinning or dizziness (called vertigo), hearing loss that generally occurs in only one ear although in rare cases both ears can be affected, the perception of a ringing or buzzing noise (tinnitus) or the feeling of fullness or pressure.

What causes Meniere’s disease isn’t well understood. We know that it results from an abnormal composition or volume of fluid in the inner ear, but what causes these changes is debated but generally unclear. Meniere’s disease can result in falls or accidents, or even depression or anxiety, because sufferers can’t know when the symptoms may strike. Everyone’s symptoms may differ, but anyone with Meniere’s disease will agree that it is uncomfortable and can have a negative impact on your life.

While there is no magic pill that instantly cures Meniere’s disease, a new hearing supplement that is specially formulated to help alleviate its disruptive symptoms by providing relief for its users. PROHIERAN is the only hearing supplement on the market that optimizes the all-natural super-antioxidant Resveratrol.

Most likely you’ve already heard about Resveratrol, which is found in the skin of red grapes, and has even been touted as a remarkable anti-aging wonder compound. We’ve taken the medical benefits found in this natural anti-oxidant, and created a specially-engineered supplement targeted for hearing wellness. We like to refer to it as a “vitamin for the ear.” The supplement is designed to help not just protect the cells of the inner ear but cells and circulatory function of your entire body. But don’t believe just what you read here. We hope you’ll carefully explore our website and look in detail at research conducted and the outcomes from it. One comprehensive study is from National Geographic, but our site provides information to other research studies found in medical literature as well.

PROHIERAN was developed by a medical doctor, and while use of PROHIERAN does not require a prescription, you’re advised to check with your family doctor before starting to take it. There’s a section on the website for medical professionals to learn more about the supplement as well.

Recommended dosage is one tablet, to be taken 1-3 times each day as recommended by your doctor. For more details about the supplement and it recommended use, check out our FAQ section on the website.
