    Sp scary. Hopefully your doctor can help. I got better by getting off ALL aspartame, and putting drops of pure castor oil in my ears every night. I know it sounds weird but it worked and I have not had an episode in two years. Good luck!

    Very scary when that happens. Have you been diagnosed with Menieres? Losing hearing is definitely a symptom. Sometimes it will only be for a short term and will return. Your ENT may inject Prednisone into the ear to stop it from getting worse. Ive had MD for 15 yrs and have lost hearing in both ears. I hope yours is only temporary. Good luck.

    Hey Blazey09. I lost most of the hearing in my left ear for two years before my first acute violent rotary vertigo attack. It was then I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease in 2017. I'm not sure how you think that the Doctor can drain your ears. Search Meniere's Disease in youtube, there are some good videos that show you how Ear fullness, aural fullness happens. Hang in there my friend....

    Please tell me what aspartame has to do with Meniers and deafness?

    I am in a stage that I feel my hearing slipping away in my right ear and I am terrified. Castor oil? I will try anything.

      Of course you are and you need a good doctor. When I began to experience very scary symptoms, I spent hours researching and aspartame kept coming up as a possible link. I chewed a lot of gum and used aspartame in my coffee. I cut it ALL out. I used drops of Castor Oil in each ear several times a week for almost two years as it is a natural anti-inflammatory and I have been symptom free for almost two years. I have NO idea why it worked but it worked. Good luck to you!

    I will research aspertame. I drink a lot of crystal light. I will eliminate it completely. I have an ENT and a nutritionist.

    nothing is working. I have loud ringing in my ear 24 hours a day.

    Even if it doesn't help with your poor ears, it will be so much better for your overall health to eliminate it completely. Good old water!  That's the best thing. Wishing you well.
