Could this be ETD?

Hello, so I've had this for about a year and a half now. It can be hard to explain but I feel somewhat unbalanced/dizzy, it's nothing like vertigo. This feeling is constantly there and some days it gets more intense than others. I've been to the doctors where they have given me blood tests and everything came back normal. They sort of brushed me off when I mentioned ears.

I'm not sure if this could be related but shortly before this all started I went swimming and got water stuck in my ear for about 5 days which did cause a little bit of pain but then completely disappeared. I've had no pain in my ears since then just this weird head feeling.

It's driving me mad because I don't know what to suggest anymore.

Should I keep pushing to get referred to a specialist?
