What Is The Treatment For Meniere's Disease?
I have got menieres and because of ear wax I have been advised to have my ears syringed or suctioned. I have complete loss of hearing in one ear and it is now affecting the other so as you can imagine I am extremely worried and do not want to do anything that could make it worse. Please could you advise me on what I should do.
