Hi.
Thanks for your query.
I can understand the plight you may be going through due to financial constrains, but it is equally important to have normal and stress-free life.

Felling of any height can be detrimental for you.
Noted your history of dizziness/vertigo, tinnitus and attendant problems.
The best part is your cholesterol is god as is the blood pressure, hence ruling out this cardiac cause of the symptoms you have.

Although the CT scan and ENT evaluation was OK last ear, this does not guarantee about the normally now,., hence you have to undergo the following:
ENT evaluation, examination and investigations of vertigo-protocol have to be done afresh. This may reveal the problems, you also need MRI of hte brain and ears as well as the Audiometry.
This will give you the proper diagnosis and treatment

I find this answer helpful
