will extreme dizzyness after sudden hearing loss go away?
3 weeks ago, I lost hearing on one ear overnight. I have extreme dizzyniss and an echo. Heavy doses of steroid did nothing. MRI of brain and inner ear was fine. What do I do now?

I had the same thing happen, and I was diagnosed with Meniere's. This initially occurred for the first time in my 30's I am now in my 70's. I spoke of it to my son's allergist, and he did testing on me that revealed I cannot have (basically) seed oils or MSG/salt. I believe it is both an allergic reaction and a matter of an increase or balance of fluid in my ear. I also have congenital hearing issues.
Thank you. The MRI dismissed Meniere's in my case.
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.

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.
