What Is Meniere's Disease?
7. Complications
As mentioned, Meniere’s disease will cause permanent hearing loss in some cases. The degree to which their hearing is lost can vary, and it will mean complete hearing loss in some cases. This will obviously cause considerable disruption to the patient and their way of life.
Other potential complications include injuries caused by vertigo. Cases of vertigo can make it very easy for the patient to fall and potentially serious injuries can happen as a result. It is recommended that people with vertigo remain seated or lying down during an attack, but this is often just not practical, especially if the symptom lasts for hours.
