Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding dizziness daily for months, and you had been diagnosed as having inner ear damage.

According to your clinical history it appears as you are having vestibular vertigo. Though you are having it for last few months so we should think for chronic causes of vertigo and to make a diagnosis you are advice for-

1- Pure tone audiometry.

2- Impedance audiometry.

3- C.T.Scan of C.P.angle to rule out acoustic nuroma.

With the help of inferences of above investigations and their co-relation with clinical findings one may reach to a diagnosis thus accordingly your treatment may be planned.

Regards.
