My Ménière’s is an informative app and interactive experience about living with Ménière’s disease, based on my personal experiences. Read in English or Dutch what Ménière’s disease is and how tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo can affect daily life. Experience symptoms offers a short audiovisual simulation of vertigo and tinnitus. In the game, answer questions while tilting your phone to keep the character balanced. With each level, the distracting sound increases, making listening and concentration more difficult. The app is intended to create understanding and is not a medical device. Its information does not replace advice, diagnosis or treatment from a medical professional. Stop the experience if the visuals, motion or sounds feel uncomfortable. Stay steady. Rick

Pretty sure this will be my diagnosis tomorrow

Thank you so much. I've been copying and pasting links for the past week, trying to explain and find the proper words to do so. I haven't tried it, but I'm sure the simulation will assist my attempt to describe what's going on with me. I see the ENT specialist tomorrow, 7 April 2017 here in the US and I'm anxious to say the least. I've been battling an episode for over 2 weeks now, and this is no fun. The initial symptoms were violent and I was hospitalised for 8 days. They trested the symptoms, but I'd have to be seen as an outpatient for further testing. This came at me so randomly. I fly quite often for work and I'm so depressed. In search of a support group. Please advise if anyone knows of one. Thank you again...God bless, glad to know you're still able to work!!

Just wanted to say thank you for making this app. I too have Ménière’s disease. I am 40 years old and was diagnosed 6 months ago. I used to be the most outgoing person anyone would ever meet, an extreme outdoorsman and always loved hanging out on the boat, swimming and just being in the woods. My Ménières came on very sudden and it has left me scarred. I feel like I’m never going to get used to it. I started doing a lot of researching and am always trying to find some kind of way to cope with it. This app helped me explain to others what’s going on inside my head.

I saw the developer post about this app on the Meniere's Reddit support group, and all I can say is THANK YOU. I haven't seen the gameplay yet (because I have Meniere's and that'd be bad news bears) but the info section is so succinct and easy to understand. I literally just wanna hand this app to my coworkers/friends/etc and be like 'THIS. THIS IS WHAT THIS IS.' Because it's just so dang hard to understand. Thanks.
Thank you.

I found that this app was nice at showing someone what it’s like when you’re suffering from the nearest disease trying to walk straight and answer questions or even the simulator vertigo it’s nice to explain just a sample of what it’s like. Thank you for purchasing a nice simulator app to show people what it is somewhat like.
