Sign Up! Username Password Pilots and "Menieres Disease" - The Silent Illness By Gary Bowers Menieres Disease is a condition not well known, yet devastating to thousands of people nationwide, including aviators. The disease is named after the French physician Prosper Meniere who, in 1861, linked a particular kind of hearing loss to a lesion of the inner ear. The definition of Menieres Disease is "idiopathic syndrome of endolymphatic hydrops." This means that Menieres Disease has no known cause (is idiopathic), is characterized by a group of signs and symptoms, and is thought to be associated with endolymphatic hydrops, an abnormal enlargement of the innermost of the two fluid-filled spaces of the inner ear. Unfortunately this enlargement cannot be seen or measured with absolute certainty during the llifetime of a human being. The symptoms include aural pressure (a feeling of occasional to constant pressure in one or both ears), tinnitus (ringing in the ears), hearing loss, and vertigo. What does this mean to a pilot? GROUNDED! It ended Alan Shepard's career as an astronaut. A person who suffers from Menieres Disease can experience some or all of the above symptoms. Some people have vertigo attacks that are so bad that they are completely disabled by the disease. The National Institutes of Health estimates that about 545,000 in the U.S. had Menieres as of 1998 and that 38,250 people are diagnosed each year. There are no known causes or cures and only limited treatment options available.

(acknowledgement to source) What is Meniere's disease ? In 1861, the French physician Prosper Ménière described a condition which now bears his name. Ménière's disease is a disorder of the inner ear which causes episodes of vertigo, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear, and fluctuating hearing loss. In figure 1, the area of the ear affected is the entire labyrinth, which includes both the semicircular canals and the cochlea. A typical attack of Ménière's disease is preceded by fullness in one ear. Hearing fluctuation or changes in tinnitus may also precede an attack. A Ménière's episode generally involves severe vertigo (spinning), imbalance, nausea and vomiting. The average attack lasts two to four hours. Following a severe attack, most people find that they are exhausted and must sleep for several hours. There is a large amount of variability in the duration of symptoms. Some people experience brief "shocks", and others have constant unsteadiness. High sensitivity to visual stimuli (

Refer to a Hopkins Colleague Continuing Medical Education Case Rounds Videoconferences ... Contact Us International Physician Update Treating Meniere's Disease Special goggles worn by patient Harold Daniels help Lloyd Minor, left, and John Carey detect subtle eye movements that may signal recurrence of Meniere's. Daniels got on the Internet and discovered several treatments. But most came with a worry. Surgery on the impaired inner-ear membranes could correct the condition, but posed a 5 percent risk of destroying remaining hearing. A drug called Gentamicin injected directly into the middle ear once a day for five days, or multiple times a day over two or three days, could control vertigo as effectively as surgery, but also posed the risk of further hearing loss. Then Daniels discovered a third option. Lloyd Minor, M.D., and John Carey, M.D., at Hopkins also used Gentamicin. But these otolaryngologists were getting rid of the vertigo with just a single dose. And they had cut the risk of additional hearing loss to a minuscule 2 percent. More on Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery...

MENIERE'S DISEASE Recently I've had to make some major adjustments to my life, all due to one disease that seems as determined to keep me down as I am to keep myself up, it's called Menieres Disease. I remember as a child I loved having someone pick me up by my arms and twirl me around and around, then let go of me. I'd stumble around like I was drunk and think it was so funny. Today that spinning effect is anything but funny, especially when the effect is increased by five times or better. I used to get so excited when the phone or doorbell would ring, now I can barely hear it above the constant rings that pain my ears. I used to love playing with water balloons, rolling them back and forth from hand to hand just to fill the fullness of them. Now I'm tired of that same fullness, which rest consistently behind my left ear. I've never been a drinker, as a matter of fact I protest it at any opportunity, but lately I'm always afraid someone seeing me walk with a stagger may think I've changed my beliefs and picked up the horrible habit. Yeah, for me, life is surely changed, but with God's help this is only one more stumbling block on my path to self- growth, I shall pass this paths obstacle, as I have all those before me. But in the meantime I've included these links to my page in an effort to provide information to anyone else who may have an interest in the disease. Feel free to browse these links and just in case you don't find these personal enough and would like to talk to someone who has the disease, feel free to email me.

One day in late November '97, just before Thanksgiving, I woke up feeling a bit dizzy. "Maybe," I thought to myself, "I'm just tired." I stumbled down the hall to the bathroom, bouncing off of walls a few times, to take a shower. When shampooing my hair, eyes closed and head tilted back, I became disoriented and nearly fell. By the end of the day it had gotten considerably worse. I was unable to turn my head without feeling funny. As a graphic designer, I spend much of the day looking at my computer screen. When I looked beyond my computer and out the window I would get an odd spinning sensation. By 5:00 PM that day, upon leaving my office, I was unable to walk down the street without one hand on the shop windows. This was not the first time that this had happened to me. Two years earlier, while working at The Java Hut, a Charlottesville coffeeshop, I'd experienced something quite similar. It lasted for a week. I took a motion-sickness drug, as perscribed over the phone by my doctor, which took away the nausea. I was unable to work while the symptoms persisted, though they ebbed and finally disappeared within a few days. Now, a couple of years later, I was curious why this had reoccurred. Once again, I called my doctor. He asked if I'd had any colds recently, or if I was on any medication. It was a negative on each count. He named a few potential problems, none of which meant anything to me. His suggestion was to try taking Meclizine, an over-the-counter motion-sickness pill. It wouldn't take away the dizziness, but it would keep me from feeling ill as a result of it. That sounded good to me. I bought some that very night at CVS.
