Ménière's disease is a disorder that affects the semicircular canals and cochlea (collectively known as the labyrinth) of the inner ear. These canals help to interpret the bodies position in space and help to maintain balance.
This disorder has an unknown cause but is thought to be due to increased fluid pressure in the inner ear. This can cause episodes of vertigo, tinnitus, fullness in the ear and hearing loss.
