There is considerable clinical and immunologic evidence for a probable role of allergy in the production of the symptoms of Meniere's disease. The endolymphatic sac is the seat of immune reactivity in the inner ear. Inhalant and food allergies have been linked with symptoms of Meniere's disease, and many of the clinical characteristics of Meniere's disease suggest an underlying autoimmune etiology. A significant percentage of patients with Meniere's disease and allergy show improvement in their symptoms of tinnitus and vertigo when receiving specific allergy therapy.
有大量临床和免疫学证据表明过敏在梅尼埃病症状产生中可能起作用。内淋巴囊是内耳免疫反应的部位。吸入性和食物过敏与梅尼埃病症状有关，且梅尼埃病的许多临床特征提示存在潜在的自身免疫病因。相当比例的梅尼埃病合并过敏患者在接受特异性过敏治疗后耳鸣和眩晕症状有所改善。
