Finally got my diagnosis... NOT MAV! PLF

Welcome to the community, consider introducing yourself in New here, let me introduce myself :handshake:

Take a look at this post:

but imho, be very wary about going down this road. PLF is but one of many explanations for the same set of symptoms also apparently explained by other diagnoses. Medicine is not yet sufficiently advanced such that I would recommend anything other than conservative treatment for the typical spectrum of MAV/PLF/VM/PPPD symptoms.

The most important things to exhaust first are medication, life-style improvements (including diet changes esp. the reduction in caffeine intake) & psychotherapy to reduce anxiety.

As you can see, PLF treatment can resolve some symptoms (e.g. vertigo) but it can do so at the some cost to your hearing, irreversibly so, potentially. Consider the likelihood that you might get better anyway if you persevere and would retain more of your hearing if you avoid surgery.
