Two years ago last August, I developed Meniere’s. Up to that time I had the typical loss for older people. Fortunately, the attacks stopped after several months. Before I had good word recognition scores. Now, it is iffy at best. Loud situations aren’t helped by the noise suppression provided by various aids. Aids just don’t give me the hoped for results. But they are far better than no aids. I have the feeling that the simplest aids would serve me as well as the premium ones I wear. My stability is also an issue but it is usually minor. I manage by using my eyes more to maintain good balance. When it is dark, that goes away.
I hope your attacks lessen. That was a horrid time. An attack would leave me worn out. I’ve been having a bit of vertigo in sedentary poses and that’s troubling right now. I’m to see my ENT in January but may have to do it sooner. I don’t think ENTs are able to help much. I don’t think they really have a treatment that works – at least not for all. Meniere seems more a diagnosis than a disease.
We’ve got something that we have to live with. I wish it was like before but it will never be. But, its still a good life. I hope your attacks lessen.
