Ear disease can cause dizziness by interfering with them. Normally, these canals function as accelerometers; gravity or other forces displaces fluid in them and this displacement is measured by nerves that connect there. Dizziness happens when the fluid is disturbed in a way that interferes with getting consistent readings, resulting in apparent and sometimes actual loss of balance. | |
