Do we malabsorb salt?

I was just wondering today if we absorb all the salt we eat.  I have had some hearing loss issues and the Doctor thinks I have a fluid build up in my inner ear caused by too much salt.  I do like to use salt.  The Doctor wants me to cut my salt intake completely.  Don't think I can cut it completely - What would I do without my bacon?  HAHA So I started wondering about the malabsorbtion of minerals (salt)  Does anyone know of any studies regarding this strange question

Thanks
Donna

No salt malabsorption.  

Thank you for the information.  I did not think that we would malabsorb it but was just trying to preserve my relationship with my beloved bacon

Are you also experiencing vertigo?

Also, what kind of doctor told you this?

I am not experiencing vertigo.
This was the ear nose throat doctor that told me this.  Over the past couple of months I have had some hearing loss in one of my ears.  I saw him in November after my first episode and by the time I got in to see him my hearing had returned so my hearing test was fine.  I also see an Audiologist which I saw in January when my hearing loss returned.  I called them to get my hearing tested because I could get in to see them quicker.  I wanted the test during my loss.  I went to the ear nose throat doctor again this last week and he thinks I might have meniers syndrome, which he says he believes is due to my salt retention.  I already take a small dose of diuretics for high blood pressure.  I am thinking that I need to have my dosage adjusted. 

I have Meniere's.  It is easily dealt with by using diuretics.  I was put on triamterine and the hearing loss went away and I never had another episode of vertigo.

Try adjusting your diuretics and the issue may resolve.  I did not adjust my salt intake at all.

Thank you so much NYB for your reply.  I have an appt with my PCP in a couple of weeks.  I will have them increase my diuretics.  I am hoping that will resolve the issue.
