Anyone have Meniere's? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/anyone-have-meniere-s <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have hearing loss corrected with VA-supplied hearing aids and vertigo controlled with VA-supplied diazepam. Really, I can live with this, but it's debilitating at times. <br /><br />The VA insists that there's no connection between this and auditory trauma. I'm pretty sure there is, but I hear a different reason why it's not service connected every time I ask someone. <br /><br />Anyone have this experience? Any knowledgeable people able to point me to resources/references/research?

The condition is very similar to Meniere's, in fact they pushed for every test they could on me to prove I had Meniere's but they couldn't determine what it was. Eventually, the army decided I was fine (even though all my symptoms still existed) because they couldn't prove otherwise. I seriously doubt the education of my military doctor for not looking at SEH first, given the vehicle accident was the origin of onset symptoms. <br /><br />I only found out this year that I had SEH, because I was still having multiple issues and finally went to an audiologist who confirmed. That accident jacked me up pretty good. I suffer from random loss of balance, tinnitus, random onset dizziness and occasional pressure in my ears (fullness).<br /><br />Wound up with a mild TBI, SEH and Occipital Neuralgia and a few other conditions that were aggravated by the three above all from a single vehicle accident of +/- 45MPH into a ditch in open desert... <br /><br />Here is some stuff on Meniere's:<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://vestibular.org/sites/default/files/page_files/Meniere%27s%20Disease_1.pdf">http://vestibular.org/sites/default/files/page_files/Meniere%27s%20Disease_1.pdf</a><br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://vestibular.org/menieres-disease">http://vestibular.org/menieres-disease</a><br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://vestibular.org/">http://vestibular.org/</a> (This whole site is fairly amazing).<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://vestibular.org/understanding-vestibular-disorders/treatment/vestibular-diet">http://vestibular.org/understanding-vestibular-disorders/treatment/vestibular-diet</a><br /><br />Hope that helps and I wish you the best in your treatment. I'd wish you recovery but there isn't recovery for us - just treatment and learning to live with it.

But over the last two weeks, I have been dealing with violent headaches and vertigo. My docs don&#39;t know what is going on. Now I&#39;m finally going to go back to the VA. The funny thing is my driver who was with me 24/7 in Iraq is starting to feel the same thing I&#39;m going through. Any help would be appreciated.
