Ear flushed out over 24hrs ago. nurse used instrument connected to the sink & aggresively flushed my ear for few mins. now dizzy.is there damage?

No damage only: .. cold water put into your ear can cause severe dizziness that would spontaneously resolve after a few hours to day. Cold water flushed into the outer ear canal will lower the temperature and viscosity of your inner ear labyrinthine fluid, and change the movement of the tiny crystals which help determine balance and equilibrium.
