The cause of Ménière's disease is not known. But it may be related to a fluid calledendolymph in the inner ear. In people with Ménière's disease, too much of this fluid builds up. This creates pressure in the parts of your inner ear that control balance. Experts aren't sure why this fluid builds up. It may be that your body produces too much of the fluid. Or maybe the fluid doesn't drain as it should from the inner ear. Or it may be both.
It's hard to predict who will get Ménière's disease. But your risk may be higher than normal if you have:
• Another family member who has it.
• An autoimmune disease, such as diabetes, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis.
• Had a head injury, especially if it involved your ear.
• Had a viral infection of the inner ear.
• Allergies.
Ménière's disease can cause symptoms that come on quickly and last from hours to days. During an attack, you may have:
• Vertigo, the feeling that you or your surroundings are spinning. This may last from minutes to hours. It may be bad enough to cause nausea and vomiting.
• Tinnitus, a low roaring, ringing, or hissing in your ear.
• Hearing loss, which may be temporary or permanent.
• A feeling of pressure or fullness in your ear.
