Post-Op Appointment and Possible Diagnosis

Recommended Posts

I have my post-op appointment with my ENT doctor/surgeon on Monday after having my tonsillectomy and I hope to receive the test results of the VNG balance test I had on the Friday preceding my surgery.  Due to the preliminary results from the audiologist, it appears that it may, indeed, be Meniere's disease as I have permanent hearing loss in the high frequencies and that is not a known symptom of migraine-associated vestibulopathy.  If hearing loss occurs in a migraine episode, it is short-lived and comes back when the migraine is over.  I knew that I had some hearing loss, but I wasn't aware of how bad it was until after the test.  Anyway, I was kind of hoping it was related to migraines as that is easier to treat, but I'm hopeful that my doctor and I can work out a treatment plan if he diagnoses Meniere's.  I am confident in his judgement has he has been really wonderful since I started seeing him in November after my PCD referred me.  :)
