I have not had any of that done. My problem is still pretty new. The most concerning symptom is not really vertigo, and I'm not sure even sure I'm having vertigo. I saw a new ENT yesterday, who asked me very pointed questions about whether what I was experiencing was vertigo or dizziness. I concluded that probably it was dizziness, as I felt that I was unsteady but not that the room was moving. But I'm really not sure. Regardless, my dizzy spells are infrequent and short, and in fact, almost always happen when I'm sleeping, which is why I am going to be evaluated for sleep apnea.

My main complaint is this loud strange sound that comes into my ear and lasts for sometimes hours. I can usually tie those events to some kind of trigger, like alcohol or caffeine. I'm very worried about this, but no one is really yet calling it Menieres.
