Ménière's disease is correctly identified by its classical symptoms which include episodic vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness. These symptoms distinguish it from other vestibular disorders. Labyrinthitis, although it presents with vertigo, typically does not include the fluctuating hearing loss or the sensation of aural fullness associated with Ménière's disease. Otosclerosis is primarily a conductive hearing loss condition and does not generally include vertigo or tinnitus. Sensorineural hearing loss is a broad diagnosis and lacks the specific combination of symptoms compared to Ménière's disease.
