Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) was first defined by Dr. Brian McCabe in a landmark paper describing an autoimmune loss of hearing. [2] The disease results in progressive sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) that acts bilaterally and asymmetrically, and sometimes affects an individual's vestibular system .
No cure for Ménière's disease is known, but medications, diet, physical therapy, counseling, and some surgical approaches can be used to manage it. [4] More than 85% of patients with Ménière's disease get better from changes in lifestyle, medical treatment, or minimally invasive surgical procedures.
[2] 20% to 100% of patients, depending on time of presentation, develop a protein-losing gastropathy accompanied by low blood albumin and edema.

[2] The most common disorders that result in vertigo are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Ménière's disease, and vestibular neuritis.
A 2018 study from Korea found the chance of progression to Meniere's disease of all participants with SLFHL to be 9.38% with an average progression time of 1.7±1.4 years, but when limited to patients with recurring symptoms "it was confirmed that about half (46.88%) of them progressed to Meniere's disease."
Betahistine, sold under the brand name Serc among others, is an anti-vertigo medication.It is commonly prescribed for balance disorders or to alleviate vertigo symptoms.It was first registered in Europe in 1970 for the treatment of Ménière's disease, but current evidence does not support its efficacy in treating it.

There is disagreement over the definitions and criteria used to delineate various disorders and whether some of these conditions should be classified as ...
