Many people think that cochlear implants are an easy fix and don’t understand just how last resort it is. This explanation really helped.

[@davidhowell7358]

Enjoyed listening to Dr. Rauch. I wish he had been one of my professors to provide information that was concise, informative and humorous.

[@robertbailey116]

This was very helpful. I would benefit from this Doctor's help. I have had hearing loss head trauma and Vertigo going back to 1984. Army veteran for 10 years 82nd Airborne. My tinnitus is so loud I have trouble hearing nothing but the noise associated with tinnitus. I recently passed out in the bathroom and when I came to on the floor I threw up. Try to stay focused is getting more difficult every day.

Best video of dozens I’ve watched.

[@chris_troiano]

This helped me understand so much! Thanks for bringing Dr. Rauch in -- he was great.

[@nmendillo]

I got an appointment with this genius in the end of february - he's giving me a lot of useful (and depressing) information on my Meniere's. (i should start learning ASL)

[@courtneyruhe9431]

I’m sorry! My grandpa also lost complete hearing from Menieres. Cochlear implant helped him

[@dawngadon5738]

As usual Dr Williams asks the questions I want to know the answers ti! Thanks Paul!

[@TheCurbsiders]

Excellent!

Very enlightening episode and I've probably listened to 80 different people talk about this stuff now. I would be curious more about hormone disregulation. I recently got Tinnitus and sudden onset hearing loss in my R Ear (diagnosed as 44% pressure cochlear hydrops). Lost about 55-60 db of hearing in R ear (so far, I'm 4 weeks in). I've had ZERO vertigo. Prior to the acute event I had some acute neck pain around the muscles/nerves around the axis/occipital bone areas. I had a bad cough for about 2 months prior. About 4 months prior to that, I started TRT as my Testosterone was 386. So now I'm at 840. Feel great. But also curious if that's too high and maybe could have caused this episode of hearing loss/tinnitus?

[@saratalha926]

Thank you for this very informative video.

[@TheCurbsiders]

Glad it was helpful!

[@karenbochinski]

Great show. Wished he lived in my area

[@Imreallysorryforlastnight]

Can Meniere's disease, which causes hearing loss, be cured or improved? I have a 37db hearing loss, what treatment would be better to improve my hearing and resolve the fullness issue, as well as the occasional mild vertigo that lasts for 10 seconds and tinnitus that lasts for 1 minute?"

[@kobehal4919]

Case in point: I had to turn this video's playback speed down to .75% in order to hear the 'younger gentlemen's speaking. [grin]. Thank the gods for subtitles. Wondering if wearing earbuds supposedly causes hearing loss?

[@williamolenchenko5772]

Are vertigo and dizziness two different symptoms? Is vertigo "spinning" whereas dizziness is loss of balance? Does Meniere's only cause dizziness?

[@glenmanese5982]

Guys, greatly informative...Can you do another in relation to Otitis Media, which later develops into Meniere's Syndrome & other elements such as ototoxicity factors...thank you in advance!!!

[@emmas3716]

I got hyper mobile stapes/third window after going for ear irrigation. Will never let anyone near my ear for ear wax again Ear wax won't harm you but the machines they use to remove it might

[@cpa7476]

Thank you. This was very helpful.

[@Raisedead2]

I had a vertigo episode which came with tinnitus 20 years ago at the age of 18, i have not had any attacks after that but i feel dizzy easily if i spin. Tinnitus is on my left side and i have not had major hearing loss on my left ear in these 20 years. I suffer from depression and i think that was the trigger, now 20 years later i had a very stressful time in my life and the sound of tinnitus got worse. I wonder if it can be meniere, i do suffer often from migraine and have high blood pressure. I have never seen a specialist about this, should i?

[@tekiero]

I don’t wanna lose my hearing. I’m 34 yo. Left ear can’t hear anything for a week 😢😢 Any help?

[@darylglover7037]

[@courtneyruhe9431]

Sounds like vestibular migraine but you’ll need to see an ENT

[@lqdxoni1]

My va audiologist discounted my inability to understand people talking to me from behind or in a room with medium noise I am rated for tinnitus , yet I have severe balance issues on my bad days minor vertigo at other times. I pray I have this issue as the other is not something I want.

[@emmas3716]

Ha makes me laugh, nothing is seen to with urgency in the NHS

[@sheilapellicane8507]

I am so confused..I have watched so many people tell their experiences with meiners. My problem or questions is...Mine happens for maybe a month or two of the "Fullness" than my actual attack occurs after that. Mine does not happen right away,I suffer with being off balance a bit and just the fullness and being almost completly deaf for a long time before I get the actually dizzy, vomiting attack. Has anyone else suffered the same way? Please could someone answer me that. I actually am going through it currently.

[@sw6118]

A friend with menieres went through a really awful 4ish year period where she suffered from extreme vertigo with vomiting and lots of fullness. A lot of days where she couldn’t get up off the floor. That finally let up. She’s very careful with food and with what she does and isn’t troubled with vertigo very often or very long anymore. She always under-eats, very thin, no alcohol and no salt. She takes a diuretic. No bike riding, no sports involving sudden movements. If she drives the car, she’s okay, if someone else drives she may get sick. Winding roads are still an issue. It’s a lot of stress on her. Wearing hearing aids all day was a rough transition, they’re just irritating to the skin after awhile. When it’s just the two of us, I wear a blue tooth microphone. It’s great.

[@ellazaya89]

I have it like that most of the time. And non stop ringing in my ear.

[@JR-br8du]

If your face is twitching you need an mri. Turns out the twitching and sudden severe was an acoustic neuroma. 20 years and five surgeries later now I have Menieres. It sucks. Everyday is a struggle due to the balance issues. Feels like my head is in a fishbowl. Nothing seems to help

[@beatriceaderson3547]

Sending lots of love to everyone pass through pain and suffering from Meniere disease, Tinnitus and Vertigo. I was ones a patient of this diseases but now a victorious being over the diseases with a treatment program from DR MADIDA on KZbin😍😍

[@keitymarley733]
