Meniere's Disease and How to Manage It


A registered 501c3 charity, Visiting Ancillary Services strives to provide advanced dental and audiology services to the elderly. Operating for almost a decade, Visiting Ancillary Services utilizes the latest equipment to treat patients with ear disorders like tinnitus and Meniere's disease.

Meniere's disease affects the part of the inner ear responsible for balance. People with the condition experience a spinning sensation, also known as vertigo. Other symptoms include tinnitus, headaches, and episodic hearing loss.

Meniere's disease usually affects patients aged 20 to 50. Despite being a chronic condition, it can still be alleviated via a number of treatment methods, like physical therapy, the use of hearing aids, and surgery.

A change in diet is considered one of the recommended ways to reduce the effects of Meniere's disease. Patients are advised to limit the consumption of salt, caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, and monosodium glutamate (MSG). Doing so will decrease the fluid in the ear believed by scientists to be the cause of Meniere’s disease.
