After researching it, there was such conflicting information over whether they worked at all, and since in my case it was almost certain not to come back (based on statistics of people with sudden profound loss and vertigo), that I decided it wasn't worth the risk.
Have you tried vestibular therapy for your vertigo? I only got vertigo when laying down on my bad ear. I went to a Physical Therapist with certification in vestibular therapy, and she helped me with exercises that trigger it, and repetitions until the movements stopped triggering it. It reduced it a lot, and now when I get it, it is much milder and passes quickly. She said it may increase again later, but I can even do the exercises on my own if I prefer not to come see her for more visits.
Curious - Why do you only wear the hearing aids at certain times? I was wondering if you wore them more consistently maybe the hypersensitivity and other symptoms you are dealing with could improve? (I have no knowledge about this. It's just a thought that came to my mind.)
I am sorry it has affected you so much. Have you thought about talking to a counselor about the mental/emotional effects it has had on you?
