Ménière Path.
(‖ menjɛːr)
The name of Prosper Ménière (1799–1862), French physician, used in the possessive to designate a disease of the membranous labyrinth of the ear associated with dizziness, tinnitus, etc., and causing progressive deafness in the ear affected (described by Ménière in 1861).
Accentuation of the name varies. The forms Menière, used by the physician himself, and Ménière, used by many writers about him and now by his descendants, are both common. The unaccented form Meniere is used in some modern English works.
