The Foundation for Ménière’s Disease ETS is an Italian nonprofit organization and registered Third Sector entity supporting people affected by Ménière’s disease. It works to advance scientific research while providing practical, compassionate support to patients and their communities. Through a network of patients, volunteers, supporters, clinicians and researchers, the Foundation encourages people to share experiences, find understanding and navigate the daily challenges of the condition together.

Its activities include promoting research projects focused on Ménière’s disease, with studies covering areas such as CCSVI, proteomics, heart rate variability and epidemiology. The Foundation also shares information about the disease, its symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options through educational resources, articles, webinars and events. It offers listening, guidance and tools to help people feel less alone, and advocates with institutions for greater recognition of a condition it describes as often overlooked. By fostering collaboration between patients and specialists, the organization aims to support better knowledge, diagnosis, care and quality of life, while building an informed and supportive community grounded in solidarity and hope.
