What Is Meniere's Disease?
10. Surgery
Surgery may be an appropriate treatment for Meniere’s disease in the more severe cases. This will sometimes involve a vestibular nerve section. This is a procedure that involves cutting the nerve that connects the brain with the organs that helps us to balance. This can prevent hearing loss and also correct vertigo.
And endolymphatic sac procedure is another option that involves decompressing the andolymphatic sac, which will help to reduce fluid levels in the ear. A labyrinthectomy may also be performed which involves removing the part of the inner ear that is responsible for balance. This will also leave the patient unable to hear, so it is only used as a last resort solution and when the patient has already lost their hearing.
