Causes of Inner Ear Balance Disorders

Vestibular disorders may result from various factors, including:

  • Inner ear infections like labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis, often triggered by viruses or bacteria.
  • Ménière’s disease, which involves fluid build-up in the inner ear, leading to vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus.
  • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), caused by dislodged calcium crystals in the ear’s canals, affecting balance.
  • Head injuries that disrupt inner ear structures.
  • Ageing, which naturally weakens balance-related functions​

Symptoms to Watch For

Common signs of balance disorders include:

  • Persistent or sudden dizziness.
  • A spinning sensation (vertigo) even when stationary.
  • Difficulty maintaining balance while walking.
  • Nausea or vomiting associated with motion.
  • A sense of fullness in the ears
