Treatment Options For Meniere's Disease

Middle Ear Injection

This treatment is used to reduce vertigo episodes and their severity and involves a steroid injection into the affected ear. The procedure takes about thirty minutes, and some doctors use a numbing agent to minimize pain. The risks of these injections may include temporary dizziness and bleeding. There is also a one percent chance the hole caused by the injection remains in the eardrum. In such a case, surgery may be required to heal the hole.

Patients who undergo this treatment can expect a change in their symptoms after three days. Medical studies have shown approximately eighty-seven percent of patients have experienced improvements. Middle ear injection treatment is an option for patients whose symptoms haven’t improved with minimally invasive therapy.
