It's All in the Ear
</hdr>
<body>
<p>By Wendy Cole/Reported by Linda Williams
</p>
<p> To historians, Vincent Van Gogh was an inspired madman: his
stormy psychedelia reflected a tormented soul. Now, 100 years
after his suicide, it seems the Dutch painter wasn't insane or
epileptic. He had Meniere's disease, says a report in the
Journal of the American Medical Association based on a review
of 796 of his letters. The ailment can cause hallucinations and
a ringing in the ear. Severing it was probably his way of
finding relief.
