The answer is yes it is possible to have both. Unfortunately BPPV is a side effect of any injury to the ear. That injury may be as simple as ongoing age, but also can be due to head trauma, infections or other ear diseases like Meniere's. Vertigo and dizziness that lasts longer than a minute or so is not BPPV. Other possibilities include a "Fistula" which causes hearing loss and vertigo intermittently. There are treatments for all of these which in some cases include surgery or injections of medication into the ear. Vertigo can be a difficult problem so it is important to seek local diagnosis and treatment. If your local ENT can't help then find a "neurotologist" - who is a specialized ENT dealing with the inner ear. Regards. That’s a very interesting situation and not all that uncommon.
