My dad has Meniere's. Didn't know that Alan Shepard had it as well. Learn something new everyday.
Alan Shepard was diagnosed with it after the Mercury missions, was removed from flight status during Gemini, but was able to have it corrected via surgery to allow him to fly on the Apollo 14 mission.
(And after reading up more on Menieres, it makes me feel a tad guilty for ever thinking Glue Ear was a hassle
)
