Hank,

I hate to be a wet blanket here, but you didn't ask about hearing loss or fluctuating hearing loss. I'm afraid your poll results are going to be inaccurate because you left out one of the 4 major symptoms of MM.

I didn't answer your poll since my diagnosis isn't MM. I looked thru the questions and realized they mostly revolved around vertigo and I don't get vertigo from Endolymphatic Hydrops.
