If patients do not have relief of Meniere’s Disease symptoms through conservative means, a new treatment is available known as Meniett Low-Pressure Therapy (MLPT).
Studies have shown that the excess fluid of the inner ear, which is thought to be the cause of the symptoms of Meniere’s disease, can be restored to normal levels by the application of low-pressure pulses to the outer ear which are then transmitted to the inner ear through an opening in the eardrum.
