Help. Not sure what to do.

I had my first Meniere's attack in 2017. At the time I had no idea what that was. It sounded like an F14 was trying to take off out of my right ear. Called every doctor on the earth, ENT and otherwise but no one could see you for weeks at best, months at worst. I walked in to Ohio State Otolaryngology begging for help and they let me sit in the lobby until I went deaf (right ear) literally. Even THEN they still wouldn't see me. Got an appointment 2 weeks later but my hearing in my right ear was completely lost.

Now it's happening again but it's different. There's a sudden onset of a deafening 'mid range tone' tinnitus emanating from the rear center of my skull. It's so loud I'm having trouble hearing anything out of my good ear over it. It's even so loud it's masking the constant loud tinnitus I have in my deaf ear. My threshold for pain and misery is abnormally high but this is so bad I've been awake for over 24 hours and my hands are shaking. I also seem to have completely lost all the low end of my hearing but I can't tell if it's actually gone or I just can't hear over the tinnitus (if it even is tinnitus).

Same deal with calling the doctors today as last time. OSU won't return my phone calls again, my back up emergency ENT guy is in surgery until next week and my primary care physician is out for a week. Anyone new I try to contact says they can't see me until August. I tried calling all the local ENTs and even a few neurologists and even with an 'urgent' referral the wait months.

I've reached a dead end. Has any body else been through this? What did you do?

 

That's the truth. It's become that way with nearly everything. It's both sad and terrifying.

I will look him up. Thank you.
