Taking a poll, please join in

Thanks Tracy,

Since I launched the poll I have thought about a few items more I could have asked. You're right. The hearing loss, in my opinion stems from repeated abuse that the inner ear absorbs. Over time, the abuse that arises from all the dynamics occurring in the inner ear can only serve to affect one's hearing negatively. In the poll, I'm really interested in how many folks have had surgery for this and whether their symptoms come and go or are continuous in both duration and intensity. I think the folks who have continuous symptoms may have something other than vanilla Meniere's. For those folks, I do not necessarily believe that everything I theorize pertains 100% to them.

I think I have a pretty good cross-section of data now. I will endeavor to pour through it in the next week or so.

Thanks for the post. You couldn't be a wet blanket if you tried.
