I have had tympanoplasty on my left ear after an IED blast suffered in Iraq in 2005. My right ear drum was ruptured in the incident as well, but it was decided that it would heal naturally and no surgery was required. Now I am dealing with tinnitus in my right ear, dizziness around acute loud noises (bang, boom, crash and the like) and the occasional benign positional vertigo. Is there a chance that the military doctors missed something in their diagnosis that could have led to my condition? I have been back and they seem to be giving me the cold shoulder. v/r Eric Dr. Neil,

I know a good number of people with Meniere's and no one has ever mentioned a connection between Meniere's and loud sounds. Regards Neil Hi Melissa:

I'm wondering why no one has considered this in this man's case, as stress or anxiety seem to exacerbate symptoms? Just a thought. Thanks for your help & suggestions. :) This sounds very similar to my recently diagnosed Meniere’s disease.
