    Meniere's disease is caused by an increase in endolymphatic pressure within the inner ear due to inflammation and an imbalance between endolymph production and excretion. This increased pressure physically distends the inner ear and distorts structures like the basilar membrane, leading to hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo. Treatment options include diuretics to reduce pressure, steroids to decrease inflammation, and in severe cases surgery such as labyrinthectomy or vestibular nerve section.
