title: Early vestibular rehabilitation in patients with Meniere's disease.
abstract: This article proposes a broadened definition of vestibular rehabilitation to include patients with active, fluctuating Meniere's disease. Pedagogy in the program shifts from amelioration of symptoms by vestibular adaptation or habituation to education, prevention, and self-empowerment. Recommendations are given for patient education, prevention, and examination.
