Meniere's Makeover for Your Home
Purpose of This Manual
Coping with Ménière’s Disease and other vestibular disorders that affect balance and hearing loss may prove to be a major task at home. The goal of this manual is to offer personal tips on how to use a combination of common sense and basic technology to manage your household effectively and safely.
Throughout this manual, you will find information and resources on a variety of topics that will make your life a little easier and increase your independence and self confidence. These are only suggestions. You will need to glean from them the ones that apply to your personal situation. It is important to make an assessment of your home and personal support system and develop your own ways to manage day-to-day activities that fit within your lifestyle, budget, and schedule. Do not be afraid to ask for help and develop a good support team to assist you.
We’ve Been There
Wherever you live, you are not alone. Volunteers from around the world have experienced first hand how difficult it is to find help and accurate information about Ménière’s Disease, and they are here to help you.
This manual has been written in a team effort by people with a combination of vestibular disorders, symptoms, and triggers. It is based on their years of personal experiences and struggles to cope with Ménière’s Disease, Migraine Associated Vertigo, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, Superior Canal Dehiscence, and other vestibular disorders.

Some examples what is inside
Bedside kitchen
For those who are too sick to navigate the way to the kitchen, a bedside kitchen might be helpful. A folding table set up near the bed with a small microwave, dormer refrigerator, or cooler of ice, a bottle or pitcher of water, paper towels, and some utensils can make life much easier.
Each day have someone in your support team stock your bedside kitchen with nutritious low sodium foods that can be easily heated or eaten cold.
The Kitchen can be a place to warm the soul, but it also can be a major source of frustration for a person with Ménière's Disease.
A vacuum food sealing system will make life easier for you and your family. Freeze sauces, soups, stews, and leftovers in large muffin tins, pop them out, then vacuum seal them individually in the bags and label. Cook extra when you are able and use your sealer
· Use the oven timer for everything including baking, cooking, and reminders for medications or appointments. For those who are hearing impaired, a Shake Alarm attached to your belt will help tremendously and prevent possible fires.
