How the Inner Ear Affects Your Balance and Causes Vertigo?

The inner ear is comprised of essential structures such as the cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular canals. The cochlea is responsible for hearing, whereas vestibular function, found in the vestibule and semicircular canals, is responsible for balance.

This includes sensory hair cells that monitor head position and movement and provide a signal to the brain to ensure a sense of balance and spatial orientation.

What is the Vestibular System? | Vestibular System Function

The vestibular system assists in maintaining balance by sensing head movements and alterations in gravitational forces. The semicircular canals are filled with a fluid and covered with hair-like sensory receptors that respond to rotational movements.

The vestibule houses otolith organs that detect linear accelerations. When the head is in movement, the structures sense the movement and send a signal to the brain that processes this and assists with maintaining balance and coordination.
