What does staying steady on your feet have to do with hearing loss? Quite a bit. Ears contribute to the body’s vestibular system, which controls balance and equilibrium, and people with hearing loss have a potentially higher risk of falling.

Learn more about vestibular disorders — including symptoms such as vertigo or dizziness — and ways to improve your balance by visiting our Balance Treatment page above or by checking out the blog posts below.
