Ménière’s disease is an inner ear condition that affects both balance and hearing. Symptoms, which can fluctuate, include vertigo (sometimes severe), hearing loss, ear fullness, and tinnitus, usually affecting one ear. This presentation covers both foundational and current research about Ménière’s disease and its clinical manifestations, otologic and audiologic evaluation, and intervention. Our webinar presenter Wafaa Kaf, M.D., Ph.D., CCC-A, FAAA, is a professor in the department of communication sciences and disorders at Missouri State University and a 2015 Emerging Research Grants scientist funded by The Estate of Howard W. Schum.

HHF’s research webinars are a live webinar series that shares the latest developments in hearing and balance research through our community of funded researchers. All sessions include an interactive Q&A with the speaker.

The series is moderated by Anil K. Lalwani, M.D., a member of HHF's Board of Directors and the head of HHF's Council of Scientific Trustees, which oversees the ERG program. He is a professor and the vice chair for research in the division of otology, neurology, and skull base surgery at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons, and a codirector at the Columbia Cochlear Implant Program.
