A pilot suffering from Ménière's disease. A case report.
A pilot suffering from Ménière's disease returned to flying status after a section of the vestibular nerve. The medical history proved to be quite unreliable. Ten years after the nerve section, hearing problems developed in the other ear. Only then was he grounded permanently.
