Thank you for posting this. I have ask neurologist and ENT super specialist if there was a connection as I have both. It all started with auras. Went to a neurologist who diagnosed me with migraines, but said I was very lucky as I didn't get the headaches, just the auras followed by a sickly feeling. It eventually lead to sound sensitivity and hyperacusis and tinnitus. Years latter the meniere's came full blast and most of my hearing went quickly. The specialist that did my cochlear implant said meniere’s was commonly misdiagnosed but he was certain I had it as I can get vertigo without notice.

I need to say on a low sodium diet to avoid the vertigo. Some doctors recommended Betahistine but it's not commonly available in the US but mainly used in Europe. I'm not sure if it did anything.

Damn dude....
You just described ME...
No cochlear implant, but I just saw an ENT for the vertigo.
I have had the aura’s for years now, and the tinnitus since I got out of the military.

Sorry you had such a rough time with migraines, and then Meniere’s. I was just curious, if I may ask, did that affect both ears or one?

I have been lucky with my migraines. In my twenties and early thirties I used to have them frequently. It would start with the aura and then progress to an intense headache and sometimes nausea. All I could do was sleep it off. Nowadays I occasionally get the aura and only a slight headache. I usually lie down and close my eyes until the aura passes (I can't really work or do anything else while that is going on). I don't know what changed to make my migraines rarer and less painful. I do take Feverfew daily as a preventative. I also had sinus surgery and two orbital decompression surgeries (due to Thyroid Eye Disease). I wonder if those surgeries had something to do with it?
