I have horrible tinnitus 24/7, a severe hearing loss, and debilitating spells of vertigo that include nausea and vomiting which leads to dehydration. My hearing aid helps my tinnitus some and there are tinnitus masking apps you can download and wear earbuds.
Tinnitus and hearing loss go hand and hand. When I first lost my hearing (I went from normal hearing to a severe hearing loss in a matter of weeks due to the Menieres attacks.) my doctor told me that the brain is confused on why it's not receiving the proper signals from the hearing nerve and will process it as ringing, buzzing, or other similar sounds. My tinnitus sounds like a siren. If you haven't done so already, I would recommend making an appointment to have your hearing checked.
My attacks have left me unable to work. I had surgery in February to try to get relief. It was a failure. June 8, they will inject gentamicin into my inner ear (it's toxic to the balance nerve) to destroy my balance nerve so it can no longer send the faulty signals to my brain that causes the severe vertigo attacks. I will have physical therapy to train my brain on how to balance my body with just one balance nerve (my good ear). There's a high risk of a total hearing loss but I'm at peace with it because I can't live with these attacks anymore. I desperately want my life back.
