Abstract

Management of Ménière’s disease remains problematic. Many different therapies are available, with variable success. Ménière’s patients frequently research the Internet for information about the disease and to make contact with other patients. Internet websites providing this information have grown in number vastly in the past few years. This paper aims to identify the best websites available for Ménière’s patients. Using Internet search engines the top 50 websites were evaluated using a Website Global Scoring and Evaluation Proforma. From the above the top ranking 15 websites were identified.
