Menieres? Or something else?

5 months ago I experienced vertigo attacks that left me very shaken.  I also had constant diziness, amongst other things. The diziness was the same every day with often peaks of Vertigo that felt like I was dropping... But didn't actually fall...

About three and half months of that and many trips to the doctors where they told me it was just 'Vertigo' and possibly Labyrinitus and that it would go away.

It did for a while, although the diziness lingered but wasn't so severe.

Two weeks ago I started getting tinnitus in my left ear... At night.... But then It stayed during the day... I had another bout of vertigo last Saturday and the diziness has stayed. And today my hearing seems to be off.... Like I'm occasionally being submerged under water.

I've had no sickness at all..But a constant dizzy foggy head...

ENT appointment is in a few weeks... 

This sounds like Menieres to me... Any thoughts?

    My attacks come almost everyday right now.  Ive been diagnosed since 2011 but for the first couple years with only a few atatcks.  I have about 65% - 85% hearing loss in left year that has stayed with me the whole time.  I also have tinnitus and ear fullness 24 hrs a day.  It does sound a lot like it, I hope its not for you. good luck
