تم تقييم هذه الإجابة:
I have been suffering from dizziness and while treating it, tinnitus has started right after using tablets is called Ginkgo . I feel the sound of my tinnitus is coming from the back of my head and many times tinnitus is much quieter when I wake up in the morning and begins to increase in loudness while I work or when I'm drinking coffee. Recently , I have been eating a lot of salmon fish with veggies and fruits andI feel tinnitus is gone and comes back eventually when I eat fatty foods . Moreover ,my ears sometimes get clogged when I lay down and when I stand up it goes away . Moreover , I grind my teeth while sleeping so I’m kinda confused, weather the problem from my ears or teeth . What’s your explanation of my ear problems ? Is what I have Ménière’s disease?

Dear Customer
Welcome, and thank you for trusting us
according to your symptoms most likely it's ménière’s disease 
How to treat Meniere's disease?
  • No cure exists for Meniere's disease, but a number of treatments can help reduce the severity and frequency of vertigo episodes
  • Medications for vertigo
  1. diazepam
  2. promethazine
  • Long-term medication use
  1. a medication to reduce fluid retention (diuretic)
  2. limiting dietary salt intake
  3. Rehabilitation
  • Middle ear injections
  1. Gentamicin
  2. Steroids
  • Surgery
  1. Endolymphatic sac procedure. The endolymphatic sac plays a role in regulating inner ear fluid level
  2. Vestibular nerve section. This procedure involves cutting the nerve that connects balance and movement sensors in your inner ear to the brain (vestibular nerve). This procedure usually corrects problems with vertigo while attempting to preserve hearing in the affected ea
  3. Labyrinthectomy. With this procedure, the surgeon removes the balance portion of the inner ear, thereby removing both balance and hearing function from the affected ear. This procedure is performed only if you already have near-total or total hearing loss in your affected ear
What are the signs and symptoms of Meniere's disease ?
  • Recurring episodes of vertigo
  • Hearing loss
  • Ringing in the ear (tinnitus)
  • Feeling of fullness in the ear
whar are the cause of Meniere's disease ?
The cause of Meniere's disease isn't understood. One popular theory that hasn't been proved is that Meniere's disease appears to be the result of the abnormal amount of fluid (endolymph) in the inner ear. This often shows on autopsies, but it's not clear that it causes the episodes.
Factors that affect the fluid, which might contribute to Meniere's disease, include:
Improper fluid drainage, perhaps because of a blockage or anatomic abnormality
  • Abnormal immune response
  • Allergies
  • Viral infection
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Head trauma
  • Migraines
