Getting Meniett Therapy

Before you begin Meniett® therapy, an ear specialist places a small tube in your eardrum. (It’s an outpatient procedure that takes about 20 minutes.) Then at home or work, you use the Meniett device to treat yourself – usually 3 times a day for 5 minutes each time. It’s that simple. And it helps about two-thirds of people who use it.

Is It Right for You?

This depends on your symptoms. Meniett therapy is generally prescribed after diet or medication fails to improve your symptoms and before riskier surgical treatments are considered.
