You can view the full announcement by following this link: http://www.menieres-support.org/index.php?topic=264.0 I got this in an email with the info on a new research study for an implantable device for those with Inner ear disorders, such as Meniere's that has caused loss of hearing, balance, etc. Just sending the link for those who might be interested in being a part of this research study. Hope someone here can be helped and get to participate in it. If so, let us know.
This could be very good for those who have tried everything else. BUT, before you go into surgery, be sure you have tried a thorough exploration of anti-virals. This has eliminated all symptoms for many many people now, and should be the first choice for treatment.
I agree with you Scott--and this is for those who have lost most of their hearing, and have serious problems with balance, etc. Everyone who wants can read the info on this site. Of course, one has to be able to get to the hospital for the procedure, etc. That will eliminate alot of people. But if it turns out to be something really helpful--that would be great for folks now and down the road.
