    Your Meniere's Disease appears to have progressed.  Please let your parents know about this.  Further action needs to be taked by your doctor.

    Sorry to hear u couldn't hear with your right ear. I have now had Ménière's for  about 7 years and now am deaf in my right ear. The only way I can hear is with a hearing aid and still not that great. Please go and see your doctor x

    I agree with the replies you have had already. You and your parents should seek further medical assessment preferably from a consultant who specialises in aural physiology.

    The advice I received regarding treatment when symptoms recur is to go back onto betahistine (the active ingredient in Vasoserc) and not wait for things to get worse, as the longer severe symptoms persist the more likely hearing damage will become permanent. So if you have some Vasoserc BID I would suggest you start taking it as it will do no harm and may help your hearing to recover.

    Most important - get expert advice - your doctor should be able to refer you to the correct person.
