Identifying Meniere's Disease: 10 Signs You Shouldn't Ignore

2. Hearing Loss

Meniere's disease can also cause hearing loss, especially of lower decibels. This makes the condition different from several others, including noise-induced hearing loss from natural aging, which generally affects audibility of higher pitches. People with Meniere's may have hearing loss in one or both ears at different stages of the disease. Often, temporary hearing loss happens with episodes of vertigo. In general, hearing ability tends to decrease gradually as the disease progresses. Most people eventually have some degree of permanent hearing loss.
