As a Professor of Otorhinolaryngology at Frankfurt/Main University Hospital of many years' standing, I have extensive experience in all aspects of this specialist field. My work has focused on areas such as sinus surgery, as well as treatment of deafness and severe hearing loss using middle and inner ear implants.

I became involved in the treatment of Ménière's disease in the course of my work. Labyrinth Anaesthesia is a treatment that we developed at our clinic. It has proved extremely effective for vertigo attacks, and has minimum side-effects.
