Turnitaround that is an interesting conclusion. I know for a long time I thought I had something in my inner ear. In 2014 I had the fullness of my left ear, and there felt like liquid inside too. A wet dripping feeling. My MRI didn’t show anything, and I quickly abandoned the idea of any other balance disorder once the Amitriptyline cleared it at 50mg (anything below that removed some symptoms but not all), and I snapped back to normal.
If you do have a lesion, then time will tell? Your symptoms seem similar to mine; except for the sporadic attacks. Mine has always been 24/7.
I was also doing a lot of exercise before I got on the meds, and joined the gym when I started to take them. My theory for my recovery was a mixture of exercise and meds. Look up the user “beatles909” in the forum. He used nothing but exercise over a many months, with a clean diet, and regular sleeping pattern, and he beat MAV without meds. Read his success story here:

But definitely back track his posts and read his journey. Very inspiring. Its what inspired me. Also this Wikipedia article on exercise and its power on the brain is very interesting:

Also, I should add that I went to the gym last night before taking only 100mg of Amitriptyline before bed. When I woke this morning I was at 85-90% normal. I have been holding onto 90% normal for all of the day. I hit the gym again this afternoon, so I’ll see how I feel tomorrow.
