Endolymphatic Hydrops

Endolymphatic hydrops, associated with Meniere disease, is a disorder of the inner ear in which an excess of fluid (endolymph) accumulates in the structures responsible for balance and hearing. This fluid imbalance affects their normal function.

How it usually shows up: episodes of vertigo, a sensation of a plugged ear, ringing, and changes in hearing that may come and go over time.

Why it is worth evaluating: episodes of intense vertigo affect daily life and balance, so they deserve an evaluation to identify their cause.

Which specialist treats it? Endolymphatic hydrops falls under otolaryngology, which studies the ear and the balance system. If you experience recurrent vertigo accompanied by ringing or hearing changes, scheduling a consultation with this specialist will allow you to clarify the condition in detail.
