Health Report - Separate stories podcast

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.
