How the inner ear affects balance

Your body's balance is intricately controlled by a neurological system in which your inner ears, eyes, and body work together harmoniously. This system transmits sensory input from your eyes, ears, and body to your brain, allowing it to determine your position in space. However, if this vestibular system malfunctions, it can result in a range of distressing symptoms. These may include dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, motion sickness, disequilibrium, and anxiety. Furthermore, impaired balance can lead to falls, causing severe and potentially life-threatening injuries.

What is the vestibular system?

The vestibular system is part of our inner ear, and it's crucial for maintaining our balance and understanding where our body is in space. It has two main parts: semicircular canals and otolith organs. The semicircular canals and otolith organs are key parts of our inner ear that help us maintain balance and understand our body's position in space.

The semicircular canals are like little tubes filled with fluid, and they help us sense when we're turning or rotating our heads.
The otolith organs help us to sense up-and-down or side-to-side movements and help us feel the force of gravity.

When everything in this system is working well, we can move around smoothly without feeling dizzy or losing balance. But if something goes wrong with this system, like an infection or damage from aging, it can lead to feeling dizzy, having trouble balancing, feeling nauseous, or having difficulty coordinating movements.
