I have Ménière’s disorder and had a few short episodes of vertigo before one finally got me discombobulated. I woke up one morning and couldn’t get my extremities to function. Couldn’t tell up from down. It took about 8 hours for it to completely go away but then I realized I had lost most of my hearing in my right ear and half in my left, and had constant tinnitus and dizziness. I went to an ENT and learned that there is nothing I could do as there is no cure for Ménière’s. I have gotten better at dealing with the tinnitus and don’t notice it unless the train whistle or the lion roars start. I keep hoping one day that I will read that someone has found a cure! Ah well, hope springs eternal!!
I suffered a highly unpleasant vertigo attack yesterday - happens every once in a while. Tinnitus was the warning, and I was definitely over-tired beforehand.
After an ear infection 30 years ago I lost most hearing in my left ear and my balance was affected. Not a massive problem most of the time but I regret not being able to read when travelling, even by plane or train. It’s audiobooks all the way…
im sorry to hear that, some of my family members have inner ear disorders and the nausea/vertigo sounds terrible. the original comment isnt targeted at those like yourself who unfortunately must deal with damaged peripherals ... but still there is a chance it could apply. may i ask whether you ever noticed ringing in your ears to be correlated with a change of mental state? examples of this chage would be arriving at a big realisation, or commencing relaxation, or performing meditation.
