Diagnosing M\u00e9ni\u00e8re&#8217;s disease requires experiencing at least two episodes of vertigo lasting 20 minutes to 12 hours, confirmed hearing loss through a hearing test and the presence of tinnitus or ear fullness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managing M\u00e9ni\u00e8re&#8217;s Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is currently no cure for M\u00e9ni\u00e8re&#8217;s disease, effective management strategies and lifestyle adjustments can minimize the impact of its symptoms. Consider the following options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Medications: A doctor can prescribe you antinausea medications to minimize the impact of symptoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diuretics can help reduce fluid pressure in the inner ear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Middle ear injections: Gentamicin or steroids can be used to control vertigo, but they may have side effects. Gentamicin, for example, damages the affected part of the ear, allowing the healthy part to take over balance functions, but it may result in additional hearing damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Noninvasive therapies such as rehabilitation and the use of hearing aids can help improve balance and hearing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surgery can be an option if vertigo attacks from M\u00e9ni\u00e8re&#8217;s are severe enough. Your hearing specialist can help you navigate these options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is also essential in coping with M\u00e9ni\u00e8re&#8217;s disease-related stress. To discuss the condition with your doctor, schedule an appointment with Pinnacle ENT Associates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pentadocs.com\/how-hearing-aids-stimulate-brain-activity\/\">How Hearing Aids Stimulate Brain Activity<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pentadocs.com\/raising-awareness-for-thyroid-cancer-this-september\/\">Raising Awareness for Thyroid Cancer this September<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pentadocs.com\/learn-about-hearing-loss-2\/\">Learn About Hearing Loss<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M\u00e9ni\u00e8re&#8217;s disease is an uncommon disease characterized by hearing loss, tinnitus and impactful vertigo.
