So sorry about your issues. Do you have vertigo on occasion and balance issues? You may need to find an oto-neurologist like I did. He is head of hearing and balance disorders at UC Irvine Medical center. The universities seem to have more knowledge in regards to the inner ear. A good site for information is "Dr. TC Hain" who is at the University of Chicago.. You may have BPPV, which is from the dropping of the cilia and maybe you need to have the Epley maneuver. Or, you may have what I was diagnosed with, Vestibular Migraine (no headache just other symptoms that are triggered by laying flat, allergies, motion, caffeine, etc) My symptoms (vertigo, tinnitus, ear pressure) are controlled with a rotation/elimination diet and 5 mgs. of Paxil at night. Or 10mgs. if I am having a bad time. I have lost all hearing in my right ear over the 17 years since diagnosed. My hearing in left ear is great.
