dizziness

Is it possible to have perminent damage to inner ear after several bouts of labyrinthitus?
I have had this four times in the past eighteen months, on the last occasion it lasted for 5 weeks. (august 97)
My ear feels blocked and aches most of the time.
I have had hearing test which indicates I have proplems with low tones in right ear.
Balance test was normal.
I have such a weird sensation in my head which makes me feel that I will fall over, I constantly feel unsteady on my feet, my legs feel like jelly.
It feels like I am drunk sometimes. I even feel dizzy when I am sat down.
I get headaches and what feel like nerve twinges.I am always tired.
Pins and needles, tingling sensation in legs, diarrhoea, heart flutter.
I have had ct scans (with and without constrast) these were all normal,
no fluid in inner ear, sinuses were clear.
I am taking thyroxine (operation - sub-thyrodectomy 1994)
I have read that many of my symptoms could be linked to insuffient thyroxine, but when tested my level is normal.
My doctor feels I should take anti-depressants, because he feels I have worried myself in to this situation.
I am sceptical about this as I don't feel this is the answer.
Can you shed any light on all of this?
Many thanks
