I agree with LadyJane.. Try a neurologist first. When I was diagnosed as needing brain surgery, I had an ear ache. I was sent to a ENT for treatment. So trying an ENT might be of help also. I didnt have any headaches or balance issues,and I had inner ear infections for 9 years before I was diagnosed with my brain tumor. When I was diagnosed with this tumor, it was only by the grace of God I was sent to an ENT and she found it after tests and a MRI. I had been given antibiotics all my life for these ear infections,which never really completely went away.But I had NO headaches or other issues to tell my Primary care doctor that it could be more than just an ear infection... So tests are good...Have the tests,,seek out information on what kind of tests you could have...Seek doctors who will dig to find out what the issues are and whats causing it...
I wish you well, and may the Good Lord Bless You

I think I'll take both @ladyjane85 and @rosesareredmylove2016's advice and finally go to a neurologist. On Tuesday, I'll have to call these other doctors I went to and get the results of CT scan, etc. to give to the neurologist. Thank you both. You helped me make my decision.

Good girl….When I first was having issues with the doctors diagnosis of an ear infection, she also said I may possibly have Minears disease. Which causes HUGE imbalance issues. Unfortunately for me it was a tumor. BUT in your case it could be Minears disease… You will Not now though unless you get testing with an ENT(Ear,Nose and Throat doctor). Have your testing and you will than know what your dealing with. If it is a tumor, seek out the best nuerosurgeons, ask for a referral to a nuerosurgeon from your ENT. Most ENT”s have Great Nuerosurgeons already in place for referral of their patients.<br>God Bless You<br>I will be praying for a successful outcome

Hi, your story brings back to when my husband. He went to neurologist<br>because he was having headaches,very unsual for him. He went to eye doctor<br>everything was normal, so when we went to him,he said it was nothing.<br><br>We told him send him ct scan or mri. He said no,but we insisted (here said<br>to shut you up,and so you stop crying like a baby alright)<br><br>He Ct scan it showed something, then he send him Mri that gave diagnosis of<br>PITUITARY ADENOMA.<br>

So that adenoma has also cause another illness, cushing disease. It so<br>important to get more than one opinion.<br>

I am happy you found the problem. Sometimes even doctors feel were kidding or just looking for attention when we tell them somethings wrong, and when they do a simple test that shows nothing there, well they feel its enough and they don't need to dig any further. Well thats not true, their the doctor for a reason, no matter how they feel or see us as a patient. I hate going to doctors, i hate the ones that are condescending and feel they know my body better by asking me 3 or 4 questions and write it off as nothing. i do research on my doctors, than after I get all the info. I choose whom I want to see from the portfolio I have. Oh yes I dig like I want my doctor who is going to treat me .If they aren't interested, Well I keep looking. There are very good doctors out there. Talk to fiends, ask neighbors, call their medical field and request names, do research, than find the doctor you want, the one who will dig and not just blow you off.

Hey Callalilly:
When you go to your doctors, before you leave their office, sign a release for information and have their office give you a copy of your records. those are your records, that way you have all the information you need for future doctors, and its with you. Don't give them the originals, let them make copies. I have all my records at home in a medical file, and when I go to a new doctor I take them with me. It's so much easier, and you don't need about the doctors, neurosurgeons etc. not having your records.
