Meniere's Disease

about two and a half weeks ago Jared started having ringing in his ear and it has been really muffled. Then about 5 days later he started experiencing vertigo and dizziness and just for your information their is a difference between the two I never knew. So now after several doctor's visits Jared has been diagnosed with Meniere's disease.You all are probably wondering what that is well basically it is an inner ear problem where you have episodes of ringing, hearing loss, and vertigo or dizziness. Jared's ringing in the ear will stop hopefully soon but it could come back tomorrow or ten years from now we will never know but their is some things we can do to prevent it. There is no cure for Meniere's and they don't know what causes it we will just have to deal with it. Fortunately it is not life threatening just inconvenient. So everyone if you are with Jared and he all of the sudden drops to the ground because of vertigo don't freak out it is just his disease
