Meniere's disease refers to a condition in which an individual experiences recurring episodes of hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo and a feeling of fullness in the ears. The time period between these episodes varies. Hypersensitivity to sounds is a common symptom of Meniere's disease. Initially, only one ear may be affected but over time, both the ears may be affected. The cause of Meniere's disease is still unknown, however it is believed to be a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Its diagnosis is based on a review of the symptoms and their frequency. The presence or absence of hypersensitivity can be determined by measuring loudness discomfort levels. There is no determining cure for the management of this disorder, however with physical therapy, diet, counseling, medications and surgery, it can be reasonably managed. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to the management of Meniere's disease. It strives to provide a fair idea about the latest advances in the diagnosis of this condition. Scientists and students actively engaged in otolaryngology will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
