Extractions: The ear is divided into three parts; the external ear, middle ear and inner ear. Each part performs an important function in hearing and/or maintenance of balance. Meniere's disease is a problem with the fluid balance regulating system in the inner ear. The exact cause of the disease remains unknown. It is defined as the symptom complex of; episodic vertigo (vertigo being the sensation of spinning or whirling), tinnitus (hissing, ringing or roaring usually in one ear), fluctuating hearing loss (usually in the ear with tinnitus) and aural pressure (feeling of fullness or pressure in the involved ear). All these symptoms form a pattern which makes up "Classical Meniere's Disease". This pattern is usually a sensation of pressure build up in one ear with increasing tinnitus and a drop in hearing. Then the vertigo comes, often quite suddenly, and may last for hours or days. The severe vertigo subsides and balance may takes weeks to return to normal. Once the vertigo attack is over, hearing often improves. What problem in the inner ear causes all this trouble?

Extractions: 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.

http://www.freehearingtest.com/menieres.shtml

Extractions: Meniere's Disease What Is Meniere's Disease? Meniere's disease, also called idiopathic endolymphatic hydrops, is a disorder of the inner ear. Although the cause is unknown, it probably results from an abnormality in the fluids of the inner ear. Meniere's disease is one of the most common causes of dizziness originating in the inner ear. In most cases only one ear is involved, but both ears may be affected in about 15% of patients. Meniere's disease typically starts between the ages of 20 and 50 years. Men and women are affected in equal numbers. What Are the Symptoms? The symptoms of the Meniere's disease are episodic rotational vertigo (attacks of a spinning sensation), hearing loss, tinnitus, (a roaring, buzzing, or ringing sound in the ear), and a sensation of fullness in the affected ear. Vertigo is usually the most troublesome symptom of Meniere's disease. It is defined as a sensation of movement when no movement is occurring. Vertigo is commonly produced by disorders of the inner ear, but may also occur in central nervous system disorders. The vertigo of Meniere's disease occurs in attacks of a spinning sensation and is accompanied by disequilibrium (an off- balance sensation), nausea, and sometimes vomiting. The vertigo lasts for 20 minutes to two hours or longer. During attacks, patients are usually unable to perform activities normal to their work or home life. Sleepiness may follow for several hours, and the off-balance sensation may last for days.

Extractions: Meniere's Disease Even though much has been learned about Meniere's disease since it was first described, over 130 years ago, many questions remain. The fluids of the inner ear , called endolymph and perilymph , are constantly being produced and absorbed by the circulatory system. Any disturbance in this delicate balance results in the overproduction or under absorption of fluids, which can lead to more pressure in the inner ear. The pressure can cause dizzy sensations, along with hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ear).

http://www.michiganear.com/library/M/menieres.html

Extractions: Michigan Ear Institute Prosper Meniere was the first to report a group of patients with episodic vertigo attacks in 1861. His name has been associated with the disorder described below since that time. Formally, Meniere's disease is characterized by (1) unilateral sensorineural hearing loss, typically fluctuating and predominantly in the lower frequencies, (2) tinnitus, constant or intermittent with the hearing loss typically increasing in intensity before or during the vertiginous attacks and, (3) attacks of vertigo lasting minutes to hours with irregular intervals, and accompanied by nausea and vomitting. A sense of fullness in the ear is also experienced. The fluctuations in hearing often accompany the vertigo attacks. The patient is generally left exhausted and unstable for the subsequent one to three days after an acute vertigo attack. The tinnitus and fullness are generally constant, but frequently increase in severity just preceding, or during the attack. One difficulty in the diagnosis, and an issue of controversy, is that the auditory and vestibular symptoms may not develop simultaneously, and in many patients the full complement of symptoms never develop. For the diagnosis of Meniere's disease to be applicable, all of the symptoms in the first paragraph must be present. Subsequent terms have been created to attempt to categorize these possibilities. Meniere's variant, vestibular Meniere's, cochlear Meniere's and other terms have been applied to those with only a portion of the symptomatology. Endolymphatic hydrops is probably a more useful way of describing the disorder because it identifies the underlying problem (see below), with the understanding that there can be various manifestations and degrees of severity of the disease.
