Q: Pressure on left side of head

It all started last summer, I remember getting a haircut and after the haircut I took a shower to wash out any hair that fell in my ear. After that shower both my ears were plugged. My hearing was partial for more than a week. Then came the vertigo attack which was awful. As I woke up around 7:00 am the room started spinning, and I had this awful feeling in my head. Also there was ringing. If I would lay back down the vertigo would come back so I had to stay sitting up. But there was still this awful feeling in my head. So after a few hours, I went to the ER. Forgot to mention I vomited several times. When I got to the ER I felt better but every time I would turn my head to the left I felt dizzy.

I have been to an ENT and an Otol-something or other, have had CT Scan and MRI, and nothing shows up. Have seen a Neurologist and he is also stumped. The symptoms have changed but still same thing is consistent, pressure on left side in the back of my head, on the same level as my ear. Also feel like I am being pulled down or rocking on boat all the time and like a rumbling feeling. I have been to Vestibular Rehab as well but not really helping.
