Meniere's: is irritaiton of the nerves in the ear. They are sensitive to electrolytes BUT, it's really rare for diet to affect it. On the other hand, drugs that affect salt (diuretics) often cause damage to auditory nerves.

ANS: not clear that it does but the inner ear system floats in salt water and some seem to benefit from a low salt diet.
