Menniet: Computer-controlled, Low-pressure Air Pulses-Device, Non-Surgical Therapy for Severe Vertigo
Filed in archive Diagnostics , Treatment by Gloria Gamat on February 28, 2007

[Meniere's disease is associated with excess fluid in the hearing and balance canals of the inner ear.]
While there is no known cure for this condition, treatments that include reducing the body's retention of fluids through a low-sodium diet and avoidance of caffeine and alcohol and medications such as steroids, antidepressants, antihistamines, anti-vertigo, vasoactive, and the ototoxic antibiotic gentamycin are being used to manage the symptoms.
In those with severe symptoms, surgery is the next step in treatment, until Menniett - a unique device whose low-pressure pulses displace the excess inner ear fluid, normalizing the pressure within the ear and relieving the symptoms of the disease. Menniett is the only device of its kind available in the U.S., offering patients a way to manage the disease without undergoing more invasive surgeries.
Menniett is available by prescription. Talk to your physician about it.
