Has anyone with Meniere's Disease been prescribed the compound drug Betahistine?

<p>Has anyone out there found a remedy or at least something that lessons the feeling of pressure and tinnitus accompanied with Meniers Disease? My symptoms are maddening. Thank you</p>

Sorry, no.... and i have been waiting months to have a phone call next week with an ENT to find out what is causing the tinnitus and and pressure, so will try and remember to follow your question;/answers; in the meantime I make those rice-filled bags to warm up in microwave and have it not too hot and hold it to my ears - right one is worsell not a cure but a bit of relief at night.
I take Tylenol but it really doesn't do anything. I try when having a shower not to get water in my ears just in case and of course have to stay away from loud noises.
That's all I can offer right now but there are many people with this.... apparently my dad had but he has passed away so cant ask him. Do you get dizzy? Thankfully I don't but with neuropathy in my feet and the pain and pressure in ears I don't make any sudden moves.
My old dr, said to pinch nose and blow, forcing air into ears and sometimes it brings a bit of relief but not always... just thought I would w ish you luck with this and hopefully some answers.....take care, J.

...oh vertigo is awful.... I tell my husband the pressure/pain and tinnitus is driving me nuts.... even as I am typing I have a 'droning' noise in my ear/s etc.... I have researched on Web as you have too am sure; asked when I had hearing test and no joy!!
Last month my youngest daughter age 52 told me, Mum i have it too (Tinnitis) but she said - I don't want to talk about it.
They have hearing aids that apparently have another noise maker in them to drown out the tinnitus but to me its just another noise to listen to...I sleep in own room so have ipad on you tube with soft piano music playing most nights.... i am not a plink plonk piano player fan but found one that is more mellow. Some listen to waves or rain but i cannot.
Thing is, my bedroom is over the furnace/heating room and it wakes me up too when running; also our darn loud fridge... so its not odd to see me creeping around at 3am listening to the fridge and furnace to find out it its them or my ears!! I joke about it but its not funny.
There are clinics in Ontario that try to train you to take your mind off the noise but there is no magic cure. For me, the pain and pressure would be nice to get rid of. They are saying that with so many people using ear buds and headphones and holding cell phones to their ears that there will likely be more ear problems such as this in future.....but people still use them! I still hold out hope they will be able to find to help us all.... J

My mothers husband had the tinnitus with ear noise. I remember he would chew sugar free gum, and he often said it helped the pressure and ringing.
Have you seen an ear specialist in Canada 🇨🇦? Since you have socialized medicine, you probably wait months to see a doctor. Maybe make an appointment? Yes, there are hearing aids for the condition, but do not know if they work.
Can you close your bedroom door to block out the fridge noise?
Health issues are no prize.

@funcountess I might try the gum, but have history of tmj so they dont recommend also another molar out Thursday 🙁 Thing is, we live in a side-split house and kitchen and basement under my bedroom. I have read on intgernet so many fridges are so loud these days, if I had my way this one, which is not that old, would go and i would buy a new one... but no guarantee re noise and husband says no! Gosh i might have to go back to one that doesnt self defrost at all hours ! yes am in Canada and have ent phone call next week but he is hands off tinnitus.
