A 54-year-old woman went to her primary care doctor with hearing loss in her right ear that lasted more than a month. She could hear normally with her left ear. Lately she had been experiencing more headaches than usual, slight facial numbness, and was feeling unsteady when walking. Her doctor asked her walk up and down the hallway and observed she had a mild gait disturbance. Other than a previous diagnosis with a parathyroid adenoma that had been treated, she was very healthy.
Could it be Meniere disease? Acoustic neuroma? Benign positional vertigo? Migraine headache?
