Tinnitus as Part of Meniere's Disease

Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that tends to affect middle-aged people (between the ages 40-50), with some 600,000 people in the U.S. alone being diagnosed with the condition.  In addition to ringing in one or both ears ( tinnitus ), people with Meniere's disease also experience dizziness (vertigo), hearing loss and pressure in the affected ear(s).  If you experience any of the following symptoms , together or separately, ask your doctor if you have Meniere's disease: Sudden and repeated dizziness with loss of balance. Loss of hearing (even if it's not permanent loss). Tinnitus (sounds in your head that no one else can hear). A feeling of fullness or pressure in either ear or both ears. UPDATE: "A very-low-salt diet improves symptoms for many patients. Diuretics - water pills - also help. Surgery that shunts fluid from the inner ear is another possibility.  For more on Menieres diseases, visit the Mayo Clinic .   Try Quietum Plus
