Yes! Ménière's disease [0] and other vestibular diseases are (thankfully) rare, but truly horrible. Diseases like Ménière's are sometimes clustered into the list of 'suicide' diseases, due to their severity. Vestibular science, in general, is very poorly funded and therefore poorly understood.
Hopefully, things like VR and the need for a better understanding of vestibular disorders will drive funding and understanding[1].

- modeless 8y agoMy grandfather had Ménière's disease, and I have had vertigo on a couple of occasions myself. It is debilitating. Unfortunately this device wouldn't restore balance, but at least it could relieve nausea.
