The Meniere’s disease is a very dangerous condition where people are exposed to the possibility of getting constant vertigo attacks. Meniere’s and Tinnitus are often inseparable as Meniere’s disease sufferers usually get spontaneous vertigo episodes along with the attack of the tinnitus symptoms at the same time. To know better about these annoying diseases, people should know what tinnitus, vertigo and the meniere’s disease individually.

Tinnitus is a Latin word (yes I know it’s obvious) that means ringing in English. As the name implies, tinnitus sufferers often experience series of annoying ringing sound (most sufferers experience ringing. Other cases stated buzzing, humming, and pulsing sounds are also heard and some people even experience roaring sound in their unique case of tinnitus) that cannot be related to any source outside the ear. This would mean that the sound source is located internally or there may be no sound whatsoever and the sufferer is merely having some sort of hallucination in audio form. The cause is usually a severe sound trauma after being exposed to loud noises. Sufferers can experience a mere two or three second lapses of these noises, but in some cases, the noise can last for hours and can cause severe frustration that can lead to depression and mental instability.

Vertigo as quoted from wikipedia “is a type of dizziness where there is feeling of motion when one is stationary” vertigo sufferer will experience spinning motion while they are standing still or even walking and can cause them to have difficulties in trying to walk or stand. Vertigo is often caused by concussion and migraine that disturbs the function of the vestibular system that is located in your inner ear.

In a case of a Meniere’s disease, sufferer is often struck first by the tinnitus symptoms while afterwards experience sensations of pressure inside their ears and followed by an episode of vertigo. It is a very annoying thing to have as you will be having trouble to do mostly anything and would need constant care from your family or friends as you can get it anytime of the day. In simple activities like cooking in the kitchen or even crossing the street, your life would be in constant danger because you would be temporarily disoriented while the disease is striking.
