A member asked:
I'm wondering can the sinuses affect the inner ear part?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rarely: Sinus infection and middle ear infection may co-exist with the cause being an upper respiratory tract viral infection. However, it is not common for sinusitis and inner ear disease to co-exist. Inner ear infection should lead to vertigo and/or inner ear hearing loss. Do you have the latter symptoms?
