Ménière's Disease (PDF)

This book summarizes the concrete, practical issues surrounding Ménière's disease with vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and offers perspectives and recommendations for affected persons, relatives, and medical and psychotherapeutic practitioners.In the course of Ménière's disease, in addition to the organic impairment anxious observation with increasing restriction of movement space, insecurity and helplessness, and even occupational disability and depressive development may occur. Nevertheless, help and support are possible, how is shown in this first English edition.

Even though book was subsequently carefully proofread and adjusted by the author, it may be that much of it sounds "bumpy" - perhaps as is fitting for the disorder, certainly as is fitting for the fact that the author is not a native speaker of English. Nevertheless, the facts are described accurately..

The author

Helmut Schaaf, MD, worked as a specialist in anesthesiology before he himself became ill with Ménière's disease. He therefore had to give up his original occupation. Since 1994 he is a senior physician in a neurotological specialized clinic in Bad Arolsen, now at the "Tinnitus Clinic Dr. Hesse" (Hessen/Germany). He has written several books and scientific articles on the topics of Ménière's disease, vertigo, tinnitus and hyperacusis.
