It's invisible and unknown, chronic and incurable. It's
Meniere’s (
men-years)
Disease, a vestibular (inner ear) disorder that significantly impairs daily living leaving sufferers feeling alone and abandoned. With a mission to raise awareness and attract research funding,
Unheard: The Ears of Meniere’s examines this devastating illness, giving voice to millions.
The documentary will bring Meniere’s into the public consciousness through personal testimonials from Meniere's Warriors (including author/tech evangelist
Guy Kawasaki and famed painter
Vincent van Gogh)
along with creative camera-work and sound design that will simulate its symptoms – violent spinning vertigo, screeching tinnitus, distorted and dramatic hearing loss – so the audience directly experiences how physically debilitating the condition can be.
Additionally, medical experts
Dr. Sujana Chandrasekhar (President of The American Otological Society Council) &
Dr. Kevin Peng (The House Institute Foundation) will provide the most up-to-date information on the condition, current research and what still needs to be done.
This all-encompassing overview of
Meniere’s will be an extremely intimate, informative and enlightening representation of a devastating medical condition that has remained unheard for too long.
