Meniere’s Disease

What is Meniere’s Disease?

Meniere’s Disease is a chronic disorder of the inner ear that affects balance and hearing. It’s characterized by episodes of vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear. These symptoms can vary in intensity and duration, often causing significant discomfort and disruption to daily life.

The Connection to TMJ Dysfunction

Recent research has highlighted a significant association between Meniere’s Disease and TMJ dysfunction. The temporomandibular joint connects the jawbone to the skull and plays a crucial role in various functions, including chewing, speaking, and swallowing. Dysfunction in this joint can lead to a range of symptoms, including jaw pain, headaches, neck pain, and even ear symptoms like tinnitus and dizziness—similar to those experienced in Meniere’s Disease.

Symptoms of Meniere’s Disease

• Vertigo: Episodes of dizziness or spinning sensations.
• Fluctuating hearing loss: Partial or complete hearing loss that comes and goes.
• Tinnitus: Ringing, buzzing, or roaring sounds in the ears.
• Ear fullness: Sensation of pressure or fullness in the affected ear.
• Nausea and vomiting: Often accompanying vertigo attacks.
