Hi,
Yes, I have had many ear infections and associated dizziness but the full spinning, rotational vertigo is way worse! There are a couple of causes: Labyrinthitis which is an inner ear infection or inflammation, BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) where you get the vertigo as you move your head and often dizziness for long periods of time. Sometimes a tumour on the auditory nerve can cause vertigo, these are normally benign. There are others. You should get a referral to an ENT specialist in order to find out what is causing the problem. It is highly unlikely that it is related directly to the TN, however, the two together could be symptomatic of a single problem. Abscesses or swellings due to inflammation pressing against structures can lead to such symptoms. So it's best to see someone who can investigate and help you.
Good luck
