What is the link between migraines, hearing loss, imbalance and allergies?
As our understanding of the pathophysiology of migraine increases, we are learning that there is a definite link between allergic disease, migraine headache, intermittent balance and vertigo symptoms and even hearing loss. Unfortunately, there are no tests to help us establish the diagnosis of migraine-related neuropathy, so we have provided these links to some of the best information on the subject. Dr. Michael Teixido at the Delaware Biotechnology Institute is a practicing neuro-otologist (ear and skull base surgeon) in Wilmington, Delaware. He has established a number of websites to help educate both physicians and patients alike in the diagnosis and treatment of migraine headache and migraine-related disease.
If you are a patient who has been encouraged to visit this portion of our website, please read this information carefully and ask yourself the question, "Does this apply to me?" Because there are no tests to diagnose migraine-related disease, we must establish the diagnosis by following a pattern of signs and symptoms, experimenting with treatment and relying on you, the patient, to participate in the diagnosis and treatment of this very common and under-diagnosed problem.
We encourage you to visit both of Dr. Teixido's websites. His original website is the "reference material" and is at this address:

We encourage you to visit both sites, learn more about the condition and experiment with your diet and allergy control to help get your symptoms under control.
