Meniere's Disease: Hearing Loss & Vestibular Damage
 
Meniere's disease is a debilitating, chronic inner ear condition that causes hearing & balance loss via damage to the cochlea & vestibular. Meniere's disease affects people in the prime of their adult lives, usually in their 40's. I was diagnosed with Meniere's disease in November 2007 shortly before my first vertigo attack. For four years prior to this I had experienced bouts of sudden hearing loss in my left ear with periods of remission, which at the time my ENT diagnosed as Cochlea Hydrops.

Yasheng Yuan, Ph.D., Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary, aims to develop a cell-based therapy to replace auditory neurons. We have shown that neural progenitor cells derived from mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells transplanted into the auditory nerve send out fibers that grow to hair cells and to the cochlear nucleus.
