If anyone is expecting the above symptoms, an audiologist will perform several tests to diagnose a patient the Cleveland Clinic says:
Ménière's disease can be caused by several different factors. Typically, the labyrinth, the innermost part of the ear, is encased in bone and contains a fluid which called an endolymph. When the head moves, the endolymph moves. This causes the nerve receptors in the labyrinth to signal the brain about the body's motion. When there is excess endolymph buildup in the labyrinth, it can interfere with the normal hearing signals., according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.
