Just wondering if these balance issues create any problems with driving?? I had a similar question about SSD... whether this was an issue for driving (particularly left ear).

Thoughts?

I have my GK consult today!

The balance doesn't cause any real problems driving since it's the car that's in motion and not your body, as in walking.  The only problem I have is needing to look quickly from side to side or if I hear a horn blow I'm not quite sure where it's comming from.  I try to park where I can pull out instead of needing to back out.
I have to disagree catflower.  I had terrible balance issues due to radiation damae and couldn't drive for 2 1/2 years.  I also had to trade in my brand new audi for an suv so that I could sit up higher because that made me less susceptible to the nausea and imablance driving.
Left AN dx. 11/05 Linac radiosurgery 01/06 Burlington, VT for a 9mm x 5mm tumor.  No necrosis yet (2 yrs. post-op).  Multiple post radiosurgery complications, some permanent.  Have radio-oncologist here.  Now see Dr. McKenna, Mass. Eye & Ear Instit., Boston for flollow-up care as my main An doctor.
