Hi Angela - Thanks for reaching out to us to learn more about Meniere's disease which is a disorder of the labyrinth in the inner ear. This is a system of cavities and canals in the inner ear that affects hearing, balance, and eye movement. Meniere's is a medical disorder which requires diagnosis and treatment or the condition will worsen. You'll find information on the symptoms, causes and treatments for Meniere's disease on the EmpowHER reference page: https://www.empowher.com/media/reference/menieres-disease#definition
From the information you've given, it appears as if you may have developed Meniere's when you were injured last year, have a recent diagnosis, but do not have a treatment plan and are trying to treat yourself? Is that correct? It's important to get the right treatment, otherwise you could lose the rest of your hearing. If you need assistance in locating a physician we would be happy to help. Just let us know where you live (city, state).
The reference page includes links at the bottom to organizations which can help you in understanding this disease and your treatment options, including http://www.menieres.org/ where you can connect with other patients. You're not alone in coping with this, and help is available. Will you let us know what you decide to do? We wish you the best. Pat
