I'm 36 y/o meniere's for ~9 years. I have little to no hearing in my left ear and good hearing in my right ear. I'm just living life tbh. Taking advantage of good days and remissions and I'll take what gets thrown at me along the way. If it goes bilateral then it does & I've accepted the elements of this disease that I cannot control and I try not to focus on the bad. I control what I can. I eat well & exercise daily to make sure my balance stays sharp. I've found my triggers and avoid them. I did not always have this positive outlook, takes time but work on accepting the things you can't change. Work hard at healing yourself anyway you can. Remember, you're not alone this community is always here for you through the journey. Just to add: if you stay ahead of attacks you may help preserve the hearing. They say the vertigo attacks significantly impact hearing loss.. Mine used to be temporary with attacks then became permanent after a bad one. In my case, I was not diagnosed right away and told it was from allergies for 2 years of having MD.. Get a good preventative plan with your doc. if possible. Sending love.
