Are you feeling clumsy lately? Do you lose your breakfast, lunch and supper on the floor on a regular basis? Are the phones still ringing even if you're a long way from the office? Worse still, are your friends betting heads or tails when you suddenly fall to the floor? These are symptoms of menieres disease and you need to seek meniere treatment immediately.

Menieres disease is a problem in the inner ear that affects a person's hearing and sense of balance. It is named after a 19th century French physician named Prosper Meniere who suggested that the symptoms above had something to do with the inner ear. It is a problem where the proper drainage of the nutrient fluid in the inner ear called endolymph is disrupted by the dilation or constriction of the passage called the lympathic channel. Technically, the symptoms are:

• Tinnitus – a constant ringing, tingling or buzzing in the ears despite the absence of external sound. Tinnitus in itself is a good reason to seek meniere treatment.
• Progressive hearing loss – this is a real consequence of damage to the inner ear. If menieres disease is left untreated, it could result in total deafness.
• Loss of balance – since the inner ear regulates a sense of balance, damage to it can make you stumble every once in a while or suffer bouts of motion sickness.
• Feeling of fullness in the ear or hydrops – because of excess fluid, pressure is being exerted within the inner ear causing a feeling of fullness
• Vertigo attacks – sudden attacks of dizziness, nausea and vomiting. These attacks can last from a few minutes to several hours. This is followed by severe exhaustion.
• Drop attacks or sudden fall – if you're still not getting meniere treatment, you may suddenly find yourself facedown or face up on the floor. These attacks come without warning and can be dangerous for people who happen to in high places or around dangerous objects.

With symptoms like the above, it's very important to seek treatment immediately. The following are tips you need to cure menieres disease.

• Live healthy. A proper diet always helps alleviate any bodily problems. For those suffering menieres disease, there is a dietary regimen called the hydrops diet designed to fight against the debilitating vertigo attacks. It is a low sodium diet. Caffeine, alcohol and MSG intake is discouraged. A regular amount of food and fluids should be taken at regular times. The aim of this diet is to regulate the production and amount of bodily fluids.
• Seek a doctor's advice about medications available for menieres disease. Various medications are available to relieve the symptoms of vertigo, nausea and tinnitus.
• If all else fails, a device called a meniett minimize the effects of menieres disease. This meniere treatment is known to be quite effective.
