Ouch, Mouse! Otitis Interna is NEVER fun...fortunately, yes, it is recoverable. I suffered from that periodically as a child...infections of the middle and inner ear due to allergies. Painful and dizzying!
I know what you mean. I still remember where I was when Elvis died, when the Challenger exploded, and now I'll always remember being in my car on the way to work, hearing the DJ's talk on the radio about the planes crashing into the World Trade Center, and thinking that it was some kind of a sick joke on their part, then the horrible zoom-effect of focusing when I realized it was TRUE....
