Alot of doctors label dizziness as labs when it is in fact vn. but it is hard to tell the difference apart from the hearing loss which is a big clue. I think with menieres disease there is hearing loss also. Migraine associated vertigo is another possibility, you dont always get headaches with this and it might be worth looking into. good luck.

Thanks for these clarifications. I've been reading SO much about the causes of these symptoms that sometimes I can't remember which symptoms apply to which disease anymore!!
It would be really cool if someone posted an entire thread on the different problems that can occur in the inner ear (most recently I was reading about vestibular lesion and acoustic neuromas). Wow! There is so much out there on the subject but it is soooo difficult to diagnose and treat!
