How your ear health affects your balance:
Hearing and balance are closely connected because they both rely on the inner ear specifically, the cochlea for hearing and the vestibular system for balance. When one part is affected, the other often is too. As we age, it's common for both hearing and vestibular function to decline, leading to an increased risk of dizziness, unsteadiness, and even falls. This is why many people with hearing loss also report balance issues. Understanding this connection is vital for effective diagnosis and treatment. Both hearing and balance, ensuring a holistic approach to your ear health. If you're experiencing hearing changes alongside dizziness or instability, it may be more than coincidence—and getting professional help could make all the difference.
