"Welcome to MeniereClinic !"

Menieres disease (Morbus Meniere) is a triad of vertigo, tinnitus and hearing loss with the duration of an attack lasting from minutes to several hours. It is named after Prosper Menière, a french physician, who first described these symptoms by his patients.

Beside the location of the disorder, the endolymphatic fluid, we knew very little about the disease. Lermoyez syndrome, fluctuating hearing loss and Menieres syndrom describe linked disorders.

Today we understand the symptoms of sudden hearing loss, fullness of the ear, vertigo attacks and hissing tinnitus as signs of a complex syndrome, called:

DEGENERATIVE VESTIBULO-COCHLEAR DISORDER (DVCD).

As causes for this syndrome, which can affect the hearing, the sense of aequilibrium or both, a number of pathologies have been found to be responsible:

• Autoimmune inflammation in the inner ear, in conjuction with those in kidneys, intestines, teeth or other organs.
• Malfunction in nerval tissues, causing headaches and reduced circulation in oxygen supplying arteries.
• Severe dysfunction in the Temporo-Mandibular and Cranio-Sacral System, causing malfunction of the autonome innervation of the inner ear and endolymphatic organ.
• Toxic burden in the inner ear, caused by heavy metals, drugs or toxic metabolites.
• Functional or anatomical malfunction in the endolymphatic organ, caused by viral infections, gene abnormalities or trauma.
