Why do I feel dizzy all the time?
Dizziness can be a vexing thing to live with and there are many potential causes. Dizziness can be the result of dysfunction of your inner ears or in your brain’s ability to calculate where you are in relation to your surroundings. It can also be due to other medical conditions affecting other parts of your body and hence a full medical assessment is important.
What do my ears have to do with balance?
Your brain calculates where you are in space in relation to your surroundings and then sends signals to your various muscles that activate as necessary to keep you upright. A lot of the data the brain uses to calculate your position comes from the ears. Your inner ear is not just for sounds – they are important for balance too bysignals generated by the vestibular labyrinth located in the inner ear. This is why vestibular therapy tends to focus on the ear as much as it does.
Do my eyes affect my balance?
They certainly do. In order to locate you accurately in space your brain relies on visual input as much as aural input (from your ears). Your inner ears are also closely connected to your eyes. Therefore, during your examination at Harley Street AVM, we will typically check your eye movements as well as your ears.
