Hi! My name is Tim Boysen and I have Meniere's Disease. This is a disease of the inner ear which causes intense symptoms of vertigo, hearing loss and tinnitus (ear ringing). The purpose of the page is to provide you with some basic information about the disease and to provide some links to other areas on the net which either are sources of information or support for people with this illness.

I have been able to get my symptoms under control by using gentamicin injections.

This and all pages written by me are intended to be used as general information on Meniere's Disease and should not be construed as a substitute for proper evaluation and diagnosis by your MD. This information merely represents my own opinions and my own experiences.

Here are some Meniere's Disease Links. [Links were updated July 25, 1997 -- Ed.]
