Meniere's disease is characterized by an extremely long trend: this fact, as in other diseases of very wide chronicity, permits one to formulate a special type of hypothesis regarding the aetiology and the pathogenesis of the disease; it is comprised of many individual factors, of differing chronology and which are connected to each other with successive causality. This hypothesis was founded on a large body of data concerning the multiple histopathological effects on the inner ear of an initially inflammatory disease of the middle ear.
如同其他具有很长慢性期的疾病一样，这一事实使得人们能够针对该疾病的病因和发病机制提出一种特殊类型的假说；它由许多个体因素组成，这些因素在时间顺序上各不相同，且通过相继的因果关系相互关联。这一假说是基于大量有关中耳初始炎症性疾病对内耳产生的多种组织病理学影响的数据而建立的。
