Were you able to get a diagnoses or did the problem correct itself. Do you use alcoholic beverages? I have found that too much will hearing problems, along with balance problems,
I'm having similar symptoms, but the pressure in my head usually builds when I'm laying down or when I'm looking down (reading things etc.). The pressure in my head seems to build on the side of my head facing down (as if gravity has something to do with it). And the pressure isn't associated with my ears. Sometimes my ears will slowly build with a quiet static until finally they 'pop' and the static is gone (this has been with me for a long time though).
Are the other posters on the money, or do your symptoms deviate from Meniere's disease? Does the pressure change based on how your head is tilted?
I'm am 18 and I have had Meniere's all my life. I had my first full blown (nerve explodes) when I was 4 years old. Ive had many sense then,I'm on 2 different kind of meds and I am on a heavy no caffeine low salt diet. My hearing is ok for now,But I have every symptom in the book it seems like. My main ones are,dizziness and lightheadedness.
I take a one a day vitamin,and eat really healthy but I don't drive and college is going to be the hardest thing. I want to Get the Meniett Device,but I no insurance. anyway just kinda thinking out loud.
And for anyone who had it,the diet helps a lot!
Hi ,As you are stil young you have maney years to spend ,with money too ,on dic-Doctors .Or ,start taking charge of it yourself .Not easy but there is a chanch here .Make a list of all you consume /Then take the most suspected one or more out .The easy way is to eliminat what make you feel bad ,the best is a compleat chang of lifestyle but with this you will need some expert .And it better be someone that didn't go to MedSchool as thy tend to think "Drags " .You need someone with a Nutural background knowledge ,and what he tells you must make sense to you .For xample ,If you can eat only Grapes for a week or more ,I'm sure you weel notice a change ,but this will only clean you up some and maybe you need some Vitamihn etch support .
You have the classic symptoms of severe Meniere's disease - flucctuating hearing loss with slowly progressive permanent loss, fullness in the ears, dizziness and balance problems, fatigue, epsecially mental fatigue and cognitive problems, "spacey" feeling in the head, and often noise (ringing, roaring, static ) in the ears.
I can't diagnose this, but I recommend that you see a specialist in vestibular disorders or in Meniere's disease. Regular ENT's say they understand it, but I have not been impressed at how many do.
To find a specialist in your region go to the VEstibular Disorders of America (VEDA) website and search for a provider in your state. Here is their website link to the page that begins the search for providers:
http://vestibular.org/find-medical-help/search-by-region.php
However, I would recommend that you go to their homepage at "vestibular.org" and read on Menier's disease to see if it sounds familiar to what you're going through. Come and tell me what you think.
Good luck, Quix
