Diagnosis of Meniere's Disease
Progression of Meniere's Disease
Between episodes, vertigo completely disappears though patients may report dizziness, nausea, fatigue, depression, a "brain fog" or a sense of being disoriented, or memory loss. Unsteadiness may persist for several days, hearing loss may progresses and tinnitus can remain a problem.
Many patients with Meniere's disease go into remission with some or all of their symptoms (except for existing hearing loss) disappearing for long periods of time. Complete or partial remission is said to occur in approximately 60-80% of patients with Meniere's disease. When Meniere's disease disappears only after many years but leaves the patient with a permanent hearing loss and a feeling of unsteadiness it is known as "burned-out" Meniere's.
