Anyone have this as a symptom? Sudden dramatic loss of hearing in one or more ears? Can be accompanied by tinnitus, dizziness. .. . .

My bil is finally heading to a llmd next week. I am thrilled for him. His main symtpoms have been hearing loss, vertigo, dizziness, etc. (he has a lot of other lyme symptoms now too) He has been to many well know hearing specialists and he was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease. Meniere's Disease is progessive however, and his hearing loss comes and goes. They told him it was all in his head when he asked them to explain how it could possibly get better. It seems to cycle, similar to lyme symptoms and I'd bet a huge amount of money that he has Lyme Disease. I'll let you know when I find out more. I'm so anxious for him to get the help he needs and get his life back.

Zithromax is known to be ototoxic (hard on the ears). I wouldn't take it if I was already having hearing problems.

That is good to know. I'll pass that on to my bil.

I had these same symptoms myself: hearing loss that comes and goes, tinnitus, dizziness, etc. My oldest daughter had this as well. In our case, they were caused by toxic mold exposure. These symptoms have, for the most part, completely abated since removing ourselves from mold exposure.
