Prosper Menière (18 June 1799 – 7 February 1862) was a French medical doctor who first identified that the inner ear could be the source of a condition combining vertigo, hearing loss and tinnitus, [1] which is now known as Ménière's disease.
Ménière's disease (MD) is a disease of the inner ear that is characterized by potentially severe and incapacitating episodes of vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. [3] [4] Typically, only one ear is affected initially, but over time, both ears may become involved. [3]
Ménière's disease frequently presents with recurrent, spontaneous attacks of severe vertigo in combination with ringing in the ears , a feeling of pressure or fullness in the ear (aural fullness), severe nausea or vomiting, imbalance, and hearing loss. [9] [25] [38] As the disease worsens, hearing loss will progress.
Ménières has a population (as of December 2020) of 427. [6] As of 2008, 7.2% of the population are resident foreign nationals. [7] Over the last 10 years (2000–2010) the population has changed at a rate of 29.1%.
Cochlear hydrops preferentially affects the apex of the cochlea where low-frequency sounds are interpreted. Due to the fluid imbalance in this area, parts of the cochlea are stretched or under more tension than usual, which can lead to distortions of sound, changes in pitch perception, or hearing loss, all usually in the low frequencies.
