Hi there...I have recently been diagnosed with meniers disease ..im not having tinnitus.Is it possible that is one issue i wont have.
Hi Skella. Who diagnosed you with MD? What tests were done for the diagnosis? Do you have ear fullness and hearing loss in low decibel range?
My ent consultant..and yes i have a lot of fullness in the ear and my hearing is bad …i can hear some sounds extra loud and other sounds are muffled..i had a hearing test and a mri scan
I have not heard of a MS diagnosis without tinnitus. that seems unusual to me? What lead you to going to the doctor?
it sounds like you have MD but to be sure you would need to undergo a larger series of tests that evaluate your eye movement and balance function (vestibular testing). My recommendation is to request these tests be run. If you find that you definitely have MD then there are diet and medicinal protocols you should follow that will help eliminate/diminish ear fullness, vertigo and tinnitus. What did your consultant recommend for you?
Regarding tinnitus…it is likely that you will have it at some point. I was told and almost all literature on the subject says that tinnitus is one of the defining symptoms of MD…that’s why I suggest you undertake further testing to be sure you in fact do have MD. Good luck!
Hi RIchard i went to the doctors due to the fullness in my ears and then it proressed to the attacks
I think i need to tanney as im a bit confused now lol…thankyou for your advise
Lots of folks have Menieres and you certainly could have it with those symptoms. My first diagnosis was based on similar symptoms, although many years later when I had some bad episodes I underwent more testing and confirmed the diagnosis.
I’ll use this opportunity to give you an insight into a trigger for my episodes - aspartame in soft drinks. Consider excluding it from your diet and see if your symptoms abate. It may help, and costs nothing to try.
It could be. For me, prior to an episode my tinnitus and hearing sensitivity will increase. Are you on a low salt diet?
Hi Denny
A lot of my symptoms do head towards meniers and what im learning is that not everyone is the same …i seem to have some things that others dont and visa versa …i think meneirs can hit in differnt ways do you agree
Hi David…i am but only just recently as this is fairly new for me so its a bit soon to tell as wether it helps…are you doing the low salt and has it hepled
i have and it takes at least a few months for the change to take effect. i would try everything and anything less invasive before many of the other treatments a good resource is mindovermenieres.com
Hi David do you have the need to sleep after an attack
