A doctor has provided 1 answer

Post traumatic: A concussion involves loss of consciousness, loss of memory, or combination of both. Regardless, sounds like your closed head injury may have affected the inner ear. To be safe, have a doctor look at you to make certain that no persistent issues need to be managed.
