I have what is called cochlear hydrops in my left ear, that is what they call Meniere's Disease but without the dizzy part. For a period of time the ear could be returned to a normal state with steroid injections through the ear drum. After about 8 months the shots ceased to be effective. My ear is now -70 db, with pulsative tinnitus, modulated gain and distortion from 1500 hz down. It is in effect useless and more of a distraction then assistance when it comes to hearing. There has been no change or improvement in the ear in the last 11 months. All the ENTs that I have seen say there is nothing that can be done except get a cochlear implant and learn how to hear all over again. At 72 I don't think so.

A great teacher gives you answers to questions
you don't even know you should ask.
