Conditions We Treat: Bilateral Loss of Labyrinthine Function

The labyrinth is a chamber in your middle ear that contains tiny organs that help you hear and maintain your sense balance while you’re in motion, such as when walking, running or simply moving your head quickly. Bilateral (occurring in both ears) loss of function can affect your sense of balance and make your visual world appear to “jump” when you are in motion.
