I've been reading up on it, as I have a electronystagmography test scheduled in a few weeks. Yuck. I think there can be a connection to thyroid problems, as one of the causes.
I put keywords from the questions he asked into google, and it seems like he may be thinking Meniere's syndrome. Or at least trying to rule it out. It does seem to fit pretty well.
I didn't have an ear infection, although it's possible I have a mild sinus infection. But he saw signs of pressure in the inner ear. Or something like that.
I've got my fingers crossed. I already have one chronic condition with dietary restrictions. I don't need another. If I have to restrict carbs AND I have to restrict salt, that doesn't leave me much of anything at all for me to eat.
My blood sugars have been running high for while too, so I imagine I have some unpleasant changes coming there too.
I don't know if this is the reason, but I'm sliding rapidly to really depressed in the sitting for hours with my mouth hanging open sort of way. Although I suppose that could be physical too.
