In 2018, a 47-year-old lady, Dana, consulted me about a persistent feeling of fullness and low-grade buzzing in her deaf right ear. She had never had any episodes of vertigo.

The loss of hearing in her right ear had begun in 2002 after an episode of meningitis and had slowly progressed until 2014 when she was totally deaf in that ear.

Auroscopy was normal and Rinne and Weber tests pointed to a diagnosis of sensorineural deafness that was confirmed by an ENT Surgeon. A hearing aid did not help her.
