After 4 PT sessions at the VA and eye and balance and stride exercises, I am pretty much OK but think I will never again have truly "normal" balance.
Best guess is the the tiny nerve in my right eye that effects balance, isn't talking to me brain anymore.
Get tested and evaluated, then get PT.

Sounds similar to me. MRI, exercises and all. Physical Therapy all said to be associated with my left ear. Much better now but I believe that I am simply able to cope better. Still have a balance issue with sudden moves. Just got back from a river cruise to Germany. Did not do well with cobblestones and hills. But coped and enjoyed.
Have met several other people that claim to have same residual effects of Vertigo.
Important to recognize that Vertigo is not a disease, but rather a symptom.
At the current time , I am convinced that I will have a balance issue forever and must remain vigilant to any fall potentials. Epley procedures are designed to try to reposition crystals but may not be able to totally succeed. Part of the process!
