Unheard: The Ears of Ménière’s—With Dr. Kevin Peng
We’re proud to be part of a new documentary, Unheard: The Ears of Ménière’s—a visceral and haunting exploration of an invisible illness, told through the ears of those who often suffer in silence. Unheard is an independent film currently in production, produced and directed by entertainment industry veteran Janine McGoldrick, who was diagnosed with Ménière’s in 2013. The film shares powerful firsthand experiences to bring greater awareness, understanding, and empathy to vestibular disorders. Janine's mission is to elevate Ménière’s in the public consciousness and drive more funding for research. To date, production has filmed our very own Dr. Kevin Peng (Clinician Scientist at the House Institute Foundation and Neurotologist at PIH Health House Clinic), alongside individuals living with Ménière’s, including Guy Kawasaki (host of Remarkable People podcast, Chief Evangelist of Canva, and author), Nicolle Cure (artist and VeDA ambassador), and Glenn Schweitzer (Ménière’s author and tinnitus wellness coach).
