Can ear disease cause dizziness?

Ear diseases can cause dizziness, especially lesions of the inner ear. The physiological functions of the human ear are primarily auditory and balance functions. The inner ear, or labyrinth, has a vestibule that is primarily responsible for body balance. When the vestibular function of the inner ear is diseased, it can lead to manifestations of vertigo, dizziness and balance disorders. Most of the clinical vertigo disorders are of peripheral ear origin, commonly known as Meniere’s disease, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, also commonly known as otoliths, vestibular neuronitis, sudden deafness, ear banding, etc. The common clinical symptoms of otogenic vertigo are tinnitus, dizziness, hearing loss, or facial nerve palsy, in addition to dizziness.
