    • Close Dizziness & Vertigo

      over 20years ago,I had an accindent,resulting in loss of fluid in my left inner ear,causing imbalance and occastional giddyness.No E.N.T specialist,would do surgery,only one,finding a hole.That had been leaking for 8 yrs.It should be sealed immediately,hence no improvement with my balance.I can walk run ect,on the outside I look normal,but on the inside,not so good.I picked up a virus.11yrs ago,causing semi blocked eustachian tubes.Saw 4 E.N.T,now I've got cracking in the middle ears.
