Ménière's Disease Awareness Day is observed on February 7 to raise awareness about Ménière's disease, a chronic condition affecting the inner ear. This disease causes debilitating symptoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, a sensation of fullness in the ear, drop attacks, and fluctuating low-frequency hearing loss. It primarily affects adults aged 30 to 60, though individuals outside this age range can also be impacted. The condition can lead to psychological distress, anxiety, and depression, significantly affecting quality of life. While there is no known cure, early diagnosis and management through lifestyle changes, medication, and surgery can help alleviate symptoms. Increased awareness is crucial for supporting those affected and advancing research efforts. The disease currently affects approximately 615,000 people in the United States, with about 45,500 new cases diagnosed each year.
