I had SHL (sudden hearing loss) at age 22 while I was standing having a conversation. Never recovered hearing. I was acutely dizzy for a month afterwards, then, mildly dizzy another month. I took Antivert during that time. This was way back in 1979. So, yes, in my case, the dizziness finally diminished. Good luck to you. I wonder your age, Diane. SHL is most common in young adults (20-40 years) from what I have read. Physicians think it is viral in origin.

Thanks for your reply. I am in my late 80's but very active. I guess that I am lucky that it did not appear earlier. i was told it is viral, no medication would help.
