Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.
It seems to be Menieres syndrome. The CT scan is within normal features and the sinusitis is definitely not the cause. Labyrinthitis could be the cause but you need an MRI to diagnose it. I think it is Menieres disease because it has all the features.
You should go directly to the ENT to manage this situation.
Hope this helps.
