Ménière's disease with Lorna Thomas

Meniere’s disease with Lorna Thomas
Lorna Thomas is a musician and has Meniere’s disease which is a long term, progressive condition affecting the balance and hearing parts of the inner ear. Symptoms are acute attacks of vertigo (severe dizziness), fluctuating tinnitus, increasing deafness, and a feeling of pressure in the ear.

During the conversation Lorna explains how her Meniere’s has increased in severity over the past 20 years, including hearing loss and drop attacks. We also discuss what treatment options she has looked at.

She is hopeful that surgery called Endolymphatic Sac Decompression will bring an end to the condition.
