Hello,

Let me tell you that symptoms described by you suggests that you may have Ménière s disease. Ménière’s disease is a disorder of the inner ear that causes severe dizziness (vertigo), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), hearing loss, and a feeling of fullness or congestion in the ear. Ménière’s disease usually affects only one ear. For diagnosis of Meniere's disease requires:
A hearing test (audiometry)
Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) testing

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
