Treating the disabling inner ear Meniere's disease
Manage episode 435803397 series 2902490
Meniere's disease is a chronic condition that causes tinnitus, vertigo and deafness. It typically starts in one ear, but can go on to affect both.
At the moment there is no cure, only strategies to lower the chances of an attack and treatments to help manage the symptoms.
It’s hoped gene therapy might be able to turn things around.
