I've had temporary hearing loss for about a week in one ear..but why am i so dizzy?

it's gross but because of wax in my ear, i haven't had hearing in my ear in over a week. i went to the doctor and got antibiotics and it's all fine. but today like every once and a while i've been feeling dizzy and nauseous. someone earlier said pregnancy. i'm 150% sure that's not it. but i do remember learning about these "pebbles" in your ear that maintain your balance and keep you from being dizzy...could that have any relation to the nausea?
