Deafness and Nerve Damage Seeking Support
Hello, first time here. Just made an account. Not sure if I'm doing this right but here goes.
So I have Meniere's Disease. I'm only 28. And it started a few years ago. At first it was just diagnosed as SSNHL. Fast forward 2 years and I had my hearing worsen with strong episodes of dizziness. Now I was diagnosed with Meniere's. Fast forward another year and my hearing decreases again. This time the dizziness doesn't go away. It comes back every day or every other day if I'm lucky.
I go get more tests done. Turns out Meniere's explains the dizziness and hearing loss. But dizziness is compounded further to a frequent debilitating suffering due to severe Vestibular Nerve damage.
I recently got broken up with an abandoned in a 10 year relationship for another guy whom I found in the house (you can interpret what that means for yourself... Anywho...). The stress and emotions have been taxing in me. While my drops in hearing occurred in the past... Every since my hearing starting failing, I had maybe 3 episodes. Ever since I felt betrayed and hurt, in the span of 3 month.. My hearing has dropped 4+ times. I'm scared to even go back to the doctor to find it dropped again. My hearing aid.. Just seems to fail me nowadays because of the amount it keeps failing every single week or two. My dizziness is getting worse.

I'm sorry you are dealing with this it's hard when you are dizzy and losing your hearing amongst living life. How are you coping with the diagnosis?
