I get the weakness as well. I don't really pursue this anymore. I have gone to top doctors and clinics with no answers. I think it is related to tinnitus and may be coming from the brain, but won't show up on imaging.
Do you wear hearing aids outside the ear, like the ones that hook n the ear? Do they make noise (my mother's had that loud high pitched squeal and that would send me into a state of imbalance for sure.)
Have you considered a balance center? There are exercises we can do. I suggest the most helpful thing for me was a PT who specializes in vertigo. They can eliminate BPPV, inner ear, and decide if it is most likely brain-based.
The audiologist should also discuss the best hearing aid for you.
