my sister recently had something very similar.. it was a virus which attacked her 8th cranial nerve.. causing hearling loss, vertigo, tinnitus, bad tinnitus.. the acute phase lasted about a month.. and after 3 different ENT specialists, she got a diagnosis she believed.. she did the meclizine, voltaren , stimuli exercises to reteach her brain to recalibrate her balance.. etc etc she missed a few weeks of work, could not drive, etc..

she is better now.. but has some permanent hearing loss.
