The disease is characterized by sudden episodes of severe vertigo and resulting nausea. Meniere’s is a condition afflicting the inner ear for reasons that aren’t entirely clear, too much fluid (called “endolymph”) builds up in the labyrinth, causing damage to the neural connections that control balance and hearing. About the time I graduated from seminary, back in the early 1980s, I developed something called Meniere’s disease.
My hearing has been sketchy for most of my adult life, and not because I attended too many rock concerts. As much as we may enjoy occasional quiet times, people with good hearing are bound to be grateful – even when the neighbors insist on shooting fireworks while we’re trying to watch a nice documentary on TV. Stop for a minute to count your blessings, and you’ll run out of time long before you get to the end.įocus on the physical, and sooner or later you’ll be thankful for the sense of hearing.
