Verified step by step guidance

Ménière's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that can lead to dizzy spells (vertigo) and hearing loss. It typically affects only one ear.

To understand why vertigo is the most problematic manifestation, consider the impact of each symptom: hearing loss, tinnitus, ear fullness, and vertigo.

Hearing loss can affect communication and quality of life, but it is often manageable with hearing aids or other interventions.

Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, can be distressing but is generally not debilitating. It can be managed with sound therapy or other techniques.

Vertigo is the sensation of spinning or dizziness, which can be severe and incapacitating. It can lead to falls, nausea, and difficulty performing daily activities, making it the most problematic symptom for individuals with Ménière's disease.
