World's First Implant Device to Treat Meniere's Disease

Meniere's Disease affects fewer than 1% of Americans.  For those who are afflicted, the randomly occuring vertigo and nausea have a profound impact on daily life.  Researchers are hopeful that this new device will allow Meniere's sufferers to assert better control over their symptoms and to find relief from attacks.
