Is there an autoimmune disease that mimic's meniere's disease?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Meniere's disesae is characterized by episodic vertigo lasting 30 minutes to 2 - 4 hours, fluctuating progressive hearing loss (often low frequency), plugged sensation in the ear and a roaring tinnitus. There are autoimmund disorders that may have some of these characteristics but not all and not as "rhythmic" as meniere's.

Yes.: It's possible for autoimmune disease of the inner ear to mimic the symptoms of meniere's. There are various other diseases that can mimic meniere's symptoms too.
