Hearing loss: If you are experiencing idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss (i.e. there's no cause, it's just your bad luck), then it's probably associated with that. The ear isn't just about hearing, it's also about balance. The same nerve (cranial nerve VIII) sends both auditory & balance information to the brain. If the input to the brain from both sides isn't exactly matched, vertigo can occur.
