1. Medications: Medications are often the first line of defense in managing the symptoms of Meniere’s disease. These may include:

• • Diuretics: To reduce fluid retention in the inner ear.
  • Antihistamines and Anticholinergics: To alleviate vertigo and dizziness.
  • Anti-nausea medications: To control nausea during vertigo episodes.
  • Corticosteroids: To reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.

2. Dietary Changes Modifying your diet can play a crucial role in managing Meniere’s disease. Reducing salt intake helps control fluid buildup in the inner ear, which can prevent symptoms from worsening. We also recommend limiting caffeine, alcohol, and foods that trigger dizziness.

3. Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) For patients experiencing balance problems, Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to improve balance and reduce dizziness. A trained therapist will guide you through exercises to help your brain adapt to the changes in balance caused by Meniere’s disease.

4. Hearing Aids Many patients with Meniere’s disease experience progressive hearing loss. If hearing impairment becomes significant, hearing aids may help restore hearing and improve communication. We provide consultation to help choose the right hearing device tailored to your needs.

5. Intratympanic Steroid Injections In cases where symptoms do not respond to oral medications, steroid injections into the middle ear (intratympanic injections) can reduce inflammation and control vertigo. This treatment is often effective in reducing episodes and improving balance.

6. Surgical Options If conservative treatments fail to provide relief, surgical options may be considered. These can include:

• • Endolymphatic Sac Surgery: A procedure to reduce fluid buildup in the inner ear.
  • Vestibular Nerve Sectioning: A surgery that cuts the nerve responsible for balance to control vertigo.
  • Labyrinthectomy: In severe cases, where hearing is already lost, this surgery removes part of the inner ear to eliminate vertigo.

7. Psychological Support Dealing with the challenges of Meniere’s disease can take a toll on mental health. Anxiety, stress, and depression are common among patients. Our team offers counseling and support services to help you cope with the emotional and psychological aspects of living with Meniere’s disease.
