Question 1

Question 2

Question?: Not sure what the question is but if this is true, go see an ENT to help out.

Question 3

what are some signs of inner ear problems?

Accepted Answer

Inner Ear Problems: Inner ear problems can cause dizziness, hearing loss, balance issues, nausea and tinnitus.

Question 4

how can i tell if i have an inner ear problem?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: I need more symptoms and need to do a physical exam in order to determine this.  Are you nauseated?  Do you have the sensation that the room is spinning?  Is your gait altered?  Do you get the 'room spinning' sensation when you turn your head upon waking up?  If so, you very well could have an inner ear problem.  See your doctor.

Question 5

what will help with inner ear problems and equilibrium?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It really depends on the cause so accurate diagnosis vital.  If one ear has weakness then balance retraining therapy helps.  If both inner ears weak then not much is useful.  For chronic inner ear imbalance try as much as possible to avoid antidizzy drugs as they can impair the brain's ability to compensate. Suggest evaluation by neurootologist who specializes in hearing and balance disorders.

Question 6

how ents check inner ear problem?

Accepted Answer

Tests: If the problem is hearing, we order a hearing test. If the problem is balance, there is an array of vestibular testing that we can order (vng or eng). These test can test if your balance disorder is due to your vestibular system or is it related to something else related to your brain. Also it can tell is which side you are the problem is on.

Question 7

are steroids effective in inner ear problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes: They are an absolute necessity for sudden sensorineural hearing loss. They are taken by mouth and injected through ear drum.

 They can also be very useful for temporary or acute flair ups of labrynthitis and meniere's disease. There is evidence that suggests injection of steroids trough the ear drum, decreases the chance of developing hearing loss with meniere's disease.

Question 8

if someone failed a nuerological test, would that mean inner ear problem?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Really need more information about what neurological test was performed and cannot say whether there is an inner ear problem.

Question 9

would you know if u had a inner ear problem or neuro issues would symptoms be daily for 6 years ?

Accepted Answer

Be specific: Your question is vague. Please be more specific about your symptoms.

Question 10

can a inner ear problem cause you to have warm sensations on the left side of your head and or spasm's?

Accepted Answer

Inner Ear/Sensations: Warm sensations with spasms do not suggest to me a simple inner ear problem unless it is associated with dizziness and ringing in the ear. I would have a doctor take a look and do an MRI to see if there is another reason for the spasm. I would be concerned about other neurological problems because of the spasms.
