A member asked:

Have had some blurry vision early today. possible water in the ear cause vertigo?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Cold water will cause relative reduction in input from the affected inner ear relative to the unaffected ear producing vertigo. Warm water will cause relative increase in input from the affected inner ear also producing vertigo due to the imbalance in neurological input.
