It could be that you have several problems which act both independently and
together to cause these problems. Unfortunately, when you have several
problems, each of which might be intermittent, proper diagnosis is difficult.
It often helps to have your GP send you to whichever specialists he/she thinks
MIGHT be able to help and to have all of the doctors discuss the results with
each other.
As Susan pointed out, it could be RA affecting the bones in the middle ear.
You could also have possible nerve damage from earlier events, as well as a
sinus infection, etc.
I was exposed to very loud noises in the service, and have a hearing loss
(different frequencies and amounts in each ear) and have intermittent bouts of
tinitus. I also have allergies, which sometimes cause sinus congestion and a
feeling of "hearing things through cotton".
A few times, I have had a side effect from a medicine which has caused
dizziness and hearing anomalies (hollowness, high pitched whine, etc.).
The problem with diagnosing intermittent problems is they don't always act up
when you are being tested, so the doctors don't see them.
It might help to keep a "diary of problems" listing each problem, when it
happened in relation to other events, how long it lasted, etc.
I sincerely hope that your doctors can figure it out and give you some (or
complete) relief.
Good wished for you
Norman
