Anyone else have Meniere's disease? (1 Viewer)

Turns out one of the starring actresses in the new ABC Family TV show "Switched At Birth", Katie Leclerc, has Meniere's disease too. She portrays a deaf character and in real life she has suffered some hearing loss. Hopefully this will call some attention to the disease as it is often undiagnosed in many people.

I started a thread about the show in the TV forum at this link. When I first read about Leclerc, I thought of you and this thread, Bob. When casting the role, they actively searched within the Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities. In other roles, Leclerc does not display any obvious signs of hearing loss.
