At this point I felt off-balance all the time and I could make the room spin when positioning my head so that the deaf ear was pointing towards the ground. Eventually this improved to the point that I felt almost normal but I still get periodic dizziness or off-balance feelings when I have sinus pressure issues or even when a new weather front comes through. Somehow the pressure in my head affects something in my ear that controls balance and I get dizzy. I always feel a sense of fullness or pressure in my right ear but when supplemented by sinus or weather system pressures it's much worse and sometimes is painful, especially to the touch. Recently my feeling of being off-balance or dizzy all of the time has returned.
My doctors have no solutions for my issues other than various exercises called the Epley Maneuver. At this point it would be a miracle if my hearing ever came back or if the constant ringing went away but there should be at least something that can be done about not having to spend every day feeling like you're going to tip over because you feel off-balance or if you tumble around too much with your kids the room will suddenly start spinning out of control. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, you need to read the post here on Tinnitus, there are at least a dozen ideas for you to try, some involving a possible infection you might have, some involving a possible heavy metal detox you may need to do. If you read them all you'll get a feeling for where to start to cure yourself.
And you should read Ted's statements on taking Lysine every day for Herpes... It's a big DON'T. That's found in the posts on Herpes in the ailments sections.
