    I briefly googled this and found that it is primarily used in the treatment of Meniere's Disease. Is it used to treat other inner ear balance disorders as well? (Not like I know what is wrong with me anyway, so not sure what difference any answer makes.)

    Dubious, have you been treated successfully with this? What is your diagnosis, Meniere's?

    Nevermind. Apparently, I can't read. You were treated successfully for tinnitus. Who is your doctor in Houston?

    I'm in the middle of the series, my tinnitus is unabated but the fullness and some of the balance issues are gone.

    The big guns in town are at The Bobby Alford Center at UT, Med Center. My guy is Dr. Roy Lewis at Houston ENT Memorial City, he's doing this every day. It's kind of a mavericky personal interest of his in addition to his traditional practice since he sees it so much in Houston (bizarre allergies and fungi and stuff).

    The Alford Center has their battery of balance and cochlear tests, that I did back in 1994 (no diagnosis). Dr. Roy working with my neurologist are the ones that said, "we don't know why, but let's try this".

    By the way, it will be more expensive than I said because the first thing anyone will want will be an MRI. They have to CYA for tumors, just SOP.
