A member asked:

Could you lose balance from hearing loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Hearing loss is the result of either disorders of the middle ear or the inner ear. The balance mechanism is different. Although balance disorders can be associated with a hearing loss such as Meniere's disease, the hearing loss does not directly cause the balance disorder. The cochlea (hearing organ) and the vestibule (organ of balance) are2 separate anatomical organs.
