Hi there. I'm new to this site. Been reading stories after stories.
Just a few weeks ago, I noticed a sudden drop in my low frequency hearing in one ear. I was a bit alarmed and went to the ENT. It took him three different visits, but the latest diagnosis is Cochlear Hydrops but not Meniere's. And, it fluctuates pretty dramatically. One week it's fine, and the next week, I can't hear well.
My ENT thinks my salts, fluids and electrolytes are out of whack. I've been training here in Texas for an endurance mountain bike ride, and definitely struggling with my hydration and nutrition while training. I'm really hoping that once I can stabilize my fluids and salts, that it'll go away. I may also have to drop caffeine and alcohol, as I have read about.
Anyone have any similar experience with CH?
