Binaural pressure-response differentials which are symptomatic of vertigo, particularly Meniere's disease, are therapeutically treated by establishing a thermal environment externally local to one ear drum with respect to the other, in the polarity sense which reduces such response differentials. For cases in which a nystagmus condition has developed, the invention utilizes observed nystagmus rate to provide automatic control of the locally applied thermal environment, in magnitude and duration suited to observed abatement of the nystagmus condition. Portable apparatus of the invention enables the patient to apply his own therapy whenever he senses onset symptoms of an attack.
