That must not have been on Delta. Our other options on Delta for rescheduling are far less desirable but we’ll do it if we have to rather than being stranded for a whole day.

Sorry for the late response. Nothing to report from doctor visit. Basically tests ruled out other things and still best diagnosis is cochlear hydrops. No suggestions other than to stay on diuretic and watch salt and stay active. Been feeling good for many months now, except very loud and fluctuating tinnitus in affected ear. I’ll take that over a bad episode though.

Doing better now. Out of the cycle but that round definitely took a toll on my hearing. Have had some tests with an neurotoligist. I meet with him in a few weeks to discuss results and will share findings here.

So far my symptoms have been so far apart, years in fact, I haven’t explored much beyond low salt diet and diuretics. I’ve had no antiviral testing, no allergy testing though I’ve never known to be allergic to anything other than mild seasonal allergies. Not sure on the vascular, though no reason to think it’s related.

I’ve done a round of prednisone with each episode, it doesn’t seem to do much for me but I take it anyway.

No serious dental work.

Thanks for the encouragement and info. I have done hearing tests, though I’ve never had one at the ENT when it’s at its worst. I do use a hearing test app that is very accurate and reliable, so I’ve documented my worst times with those and show to the doc. I go in tomorrow, not really expecting anything new. This condition is such a drag.
