Can anyone tell me if noise triggers that dizzy feeling in them....noise seems to make my ears ache and i can't stand how i feel, i have to put cotton wool in my ears if my husband is snoring...i was in the supermarket today and the noise from the chill cabinets really got to my ears i felt funny and felt like a dizzy spell might come on.

    My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was...
