 I was diagnosed by a couple different Doctors with Labyrinthitis. This was a couple months ago.  At first, I had no tinnitus but constant vertigo and my ears would pop. It got better and was going away until I went for some blood work and fainted. Now it is back and I have 24-hour vertigo with new symptoms of Nausea and tinnitus. I have to wait a month to see a specialist and I am wondering if I could have Meniere's now.

    brandt-daroff maneuver, It could also be BPPV, before you get diagnosed it takes a while for MD, many test have to be done. I wouldn't jump to conclusions.

    I wish you the best

    Meniere's Disease can be diagosed by ENT doctor.  Classic symptoms are:

    1.  hearing loss in low decible range as determined by hearing test administered by ENT.  Low decible hearing loss is requirement for MD

    2. vertigo lasting at least 20 minutes and up to 24 hours that comes on "out of the blue".

    3. Ear fullness/sound distortion

    4. Tinnitus

    If you have all 4 of these it's most likely MD.  Final diagnosis usually consists of a series of balance and eye tests run in a hospital.
