How Exactly Do Your Ears Affect Your Sense of Balance?

[@mojar2680]

I had an ear infection once and lost my balance, everything started twisting and turning and it took me three months before I could walk properly again, I also had to learn how to bike again (and i'm dutch) ... weird times.. its like getting home after blowing all your money getting wasted but then all day long and arguably worse

[@zerwas2ky]

This is actually my very worst fear in life. Did you take any medications? Maybe Dimenhydrinate could've helped.

[@mojar2680]

@@zerwas2ky time passed, it is now four years ago. No lasting effects.

[@alex15095]

similar thing happened to me but it wasn't as severe, i had moderate vertigo one evening (presumably due to some ear infection because i was having issues with that at the time) but it mostly cleared up next morning

[@alex15095]

although when i try to sleep at night and i sleep on my side and my head is resting on the pillow through that ear, i hear a hissing kind of sound that pulsates based on my heart. it can sometimes be hard for me to sleep on that side. that, and my upper limit on hearing on that ear being reduced to ~14kHz, are the only long-term effects i had from my ear infections

[@Scientastica]

Fun fact: it gets harder to ride a roller coaster or balance properly as you age as the inner air fluid gets more viscous and the calcium crystals become osteoporotic as we age.

My first pro MMA fight apparently dislodged some calcium crystals which lasted for a few months before fully getting back to normal. My eardrum popped too (which also healed back perfectly), but I think that was a separate issue.

There is the TMJ tendon in the jaw that effects your hearing as well, common cause of ringing in the ears that isn't Meniere's diesease.

[@Xanxer]

I never had balance problems until I coslept with my baby due to exhaustion, kept sleeping in the same position and I suddenly got intense vertigo, I think BPPV. I was able to do some exercises to help it, but I'm still more prone to getting dizzy since then.

[@caru93]

Out of curiosity, wouldnt just the change in position to hold your ears make it harder in general? When you lift your leg, your center of gravity pivots and becomes higher, but your arms are down. Moving them to hold your ears would raise your arms, and your center of gravity again with it. Not discounting that your ears play a huge role in balance, just wondering how much(or at all) that would factor in to balance based on the example.

[@mrwalruss401]

Did you watch the video? He specifically talks about moving the arms changing your center of gravity

What would have been more interesting is why water gets trapped in your ears and how to get rid of it 😂😂

[@megamanx466]

Tilt your head up and slightly to the side or lay on your back to get it out. 😅

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

3:50 - I've had BPPV and it's absolutely horrible. It's like you just got off the Gravitron, but _all the time._ 🤢 If you're lucky, the Epley maneuver or Brandt-Daroff exercises might help mitigate the nauseating symptoms until it goes away. If you're unlucky, it's permanent.

On a related note: Ibuprofen can accelerate the loss of these specialized hair follicles in the ears of women. Tylenol is supposed to be a better option.

[@monkey93xf]

I wonder if there is also a physical structure difference in people with autism. Because we can have hearing sensitivity and it fluctuates, it can also throw off your balance. So things like, walking into a room with a different floor or ceiling material can be physically disorienting.

[@kezzaman]

Is the balance organ responsible for people being knocked out when they get hit on the chin?

[@juanlucas8907]

When you get hit on the chin your nerves get fucked up

[@mrwalruss401]

How are you relating the chin to your ears?

[@aarondelgado3421]

The ear itself is incredible because if you think about it, the cochlear is so small, yet it captures a great variety of sounds in different frequencies and pitches! If you stop to think about all this, you'll realize there is a design behind the ear and thus, a designer behind the ear!

[@mrwalruss401]

Yes, the design of evolution that favored those with better hearing, thus a better ear shape and amazing functionality

[@aaryajain6396]

Cochlea is small in terms of volume occupied but it's surface area is huge compared to it. There are sensory cells attached to the basilar and tectorial membrane which convert sound into impulses and these cells are microscopic. And human ear isn't the most advanced, rather bats and dogs have better hearing as they can hear a greater range of frequencies

Interesting topic. Why do some people who have experienced trauma or some type of shock lose their hair color faster or, in some cases, just go totally white headed? I could Google it. A video would be way cooler though

[@tunsgene]

Hi, i'm no pro but i think it has to be with the metabolism (psychological and chemicals-provoked stress are known to disturb metabolisms, as puberty hormons or periods). To me, the fact is that when melanine's metabolism (i'm not sure about the spelling), a group of molecules that is giving color to skin, hair, eyes and even helps sound scattering inside our ears, is disturbed, it could decrease, explaining the loss of color on hair/skin and etc...

[@Yoarashi]

Hair gets its color from a pigment called melanin. This pigment is produced in stem cells called melanocytes, which are located at the very base of each hair follicle. When a person undergoes extreme stress, this elevates the body's levels of a neurotransmitter called noradrenaline. Usually, melanocytes are dormant until a new hair is grown, but excessive noradrenaline has the side effect of activating melanocytes, pushing them into overdrive and causing them to migrate away from their hair follicle and into the skin until none remain. This depletion of melanocytes is permanent and irreversible. Without melanocytes to produce melanin, the hair will grow gray or white. The purpose of why noradrenaline has this effect on melanocytes is not known. One theory suggests that it's a harmless mutation similar to how some cephalopods change their pigmentation as a stress response. Another theory suggests that it's related to how the body regulates the skin's melanin production as a defense against external stimuli like UV radiation.

[@alexandertaylor2951]

No. The apparatus for balance is in your inner ear. Your eardrum is between your outer and middle ear.
