@Jelena how loud is your tinnitus? Can you hear it in the shower? Do you have hearing loss? Dom

@Rosemerry I was told that I have menieres disease, he suggested gentamicin injection but my vertigo is not so bad, I only had one drop attack 6 weeks ago. My problem is the intrusive tinnitus, ear fullness and hypercusis. Dom How is your tinnitus are you able to habituate again?

@J1820 I feel your pain! I finally realized that my sshl was caused by Ménière's disease. Now I have not only loud tinnitus, hearing loss and aural fullness but also vertigo. I was seen by several otoneurologist and was offered intratympanic gentamicin to 'kill' my vestibular system so I don't...

@Rosemerry, how are you doing? I am still struggling with the loud tinnitus and fluctuating hearing loss, I had a drop attack 1 month ago but I don't feel dizzy now. Dom

@Tinker Bell how long have you had the tinnitus and hearing loss?

@Rosemerry how are you doing? How is your tinnitus? I have been diagnosed with Ménière's Dom

On June 2 it will be 14 months that I unfortunately acquired this infernal illness! It's clear now that I suffer from Ménière's disease. I experienced my first drop attack about 4 weeks ago, sudden vertigo that made me drop to the floor accompanied by uncontrollable vomiting, profound sweating...

Hi @brownbear , glad you are doing well! About 2 weeks after my drop attack my hearing improved and my T was very soft it felt like heaven. Then after 3 days I woke and immediately noted that my hearing was down again and tinnitus volume up. I hoping that it will not develop into a full drop...

@MattL Thanks for responding Matt, did you consider surgery to improve your vertigo? Dom

@Rosemerry , thank you for your response, its amazing that you improved so quickly from this terrible illness I am at work and I had to use all my energy to stay and finish my day. I have an appointment next week with otoneurologist ( 2nd opinion) will see what he suggests keep me posted, I like...

hi @nyorksman , do you have hearing loss or dizziness?

Does anyone have any personal experience with this procedure for vertigo induced Meniere's Disease?

@Rosemerry i am glad your vertigo is gone, sorrry about your hearing loss. Do have any balance problem now? It's unusual for menieres to burn out in just one year, I hope I develop similar outcome. My tinnitus is very loud and I hope to habituate Did you have complete hearing loss?

I am pretty sure that I have meneires had 4 episodes of vertigo since I lost 60% of my hearing on my lt ear 13 months ago. Last episode was bed lasted 1 hr of vomiting and I could not walk for 4 hrs. I am not sure what to do next, I did see a otoneurologist but he was not helpful, I will see...

I agree I meet people who think they have menieres but they probably have benign positional vertigo I am taking dyazide diuretic its not doing much if anything, I did stop salt, thanks

thank u

@light rain, thank you for your response. How are you doing with your symptoms, do you get vertigo? and did u have your mri?

Thank you again for your information I am hoping to improve, one more question: do you think diuretics are helpful? Data seems not to point out any significant improvement. How are you managing your practice? I understand you are in UK?

@brownbear , thank u for your reply is the cochlear apparatus spared with labyrinthectomies? or you also completely loose your hearing? I am in my office seeing patients but hard to concentrate, and anxious about having a spell in the clinic Dom

@Mettafort , thank you for keeping me posted I made an appointment with a otoneurologist in Philadelphia for 5/19 Dom

@brownbear , thank you for your reply, I have experiencing vertigo I was hoping it could have been benign positional but I had a drop attack Saturday where I fell to the floor from my couch and vomited for about one hour. I also developed profuse diaphoresis.The vertigo was nasty, with room...

@brownbear, it's impossible to send you a private message but I wanted your opinion on using intratympanic gentamicin for menieres? Dom

@glynis I am taking diuretics and Xanax to sleep, other medication not available in USA

@light rain is your dad better from the menieres ? Did he also have hearing loss and tinnitus ? Dom

@Rosemerry how many episodes of vertigo did u have and do you remember when it first started did you develop vertigo with hearing loss and tinnitus and did the vertigo last several days initially? Or did the vertigo occur after the hearing loss? Thank you

I live 30 minutes north of Scranton. How long did the vertigo last ? Years? How is your hearing? I am worried that I am not going to improve Dom

Thank you Teri, just having bad 4 weeks and hoping that I don't continue to have severe vertigo

@Teri , I was hoping to have cochlear hydrops but last night I had a severe vertigo attack, I was sitting on my couch and it was sudden no warning I laid on the floor and vomited profusely and had drenching sweats. Lasted one hr and I was able to walk at around 330am. It's menieres I am not...

@Rosemerry nice to meet you, I live in Waverly Pennsylvania! I am suffering from meniere disease and I lost my hearing in my left ear 13 months ago I have loud T and I am not habituated, now I also developed terrible vertigo Could you give us an idea of how your symptoms progressed or improved...

Thank you

@glynis thank u Did you consider gentamicin intratympanic injection? Dom

Last night I had my first severe drop attack, occurred with no warning! I felt that I was on a roller coaster! Fell to ground severe vomiting for 40 minutes, crawled to my bedroom in drenched cold sweat! I was finally able to walk at 330am. My sudden hearing loss started 13 months ago and it...

That's a good sign if your low frequency improve I think you will feel much better and H will also improve Dom

One more thing, I am thinking that people with low frequency hearing loss have more difficulties habituating then people with high frequency loss, Did u get a copy of your audiogram

Hi @Mettafort, my T when it first appeared is about the same volume has now. I did have a few occurrences where my hearing improved (only my low frequency improve never my high frequency) When it happens my T is more manageable. Since Easter my hearing loss has remained severe and my T is again...

The volume of the T is not changing,I find myself trying to pull my awareness away from the noise but it's a struggle. I tell myself it's just a noise but it's in my brain. I also still experience hypercussis. I am able to work and concentrate on my patients but it's hard. By 5 pm I am...

probably a 5?

It's now 13 months since my sshl and tinnitus, I have not improved, still loud intrusive T and significant hearing loss with H, using hearing aid does not help much. It's hard to continue to try! Sorry that I am so negative If anyone noticed an improvement after one year please reply Thank you !
