Answers:
Definitely yes!. The ear has dual functions!. One is for hearing and the other is for balance situated in the otitis intima!. or vestibular system!.
Inner ear: cochlea, vestibule, and semi-circular canals


Components of the inner ear
The inner ear includes both the organ of hearing (the cochlea) and a sense organ that is attuned to the effects of both gravity and motion (labyrinth or vestibular apparatus)!. The balance portion of the inner ear consists of three semi-circular canals and the vestibule!.


When your Equilibrioception or sense of balance is interrupted it causes dizziness, disorientation and nausea!. Balance can be upset by Meniere's disease, superior canal dehiscence syndrome, an inner ear infection, by a bad common cold affecting the head or a number of other medical conditions!. It can also be temporarily disturbed by rapid and vigorous movement, for example riding on a merry-go-round!.

Another cause might be BPPV- benign paroxysmal positional vertigo So avoid turning your head very fast!. Before getting up from the bed - sit at the bedside first; so you can adjust Www@Answer-Health@Com

The inner ear has a snail-shaped organ that is connected to your brain and controls balance!. It's filled with a liquid that sloshes around when you move and the reason you feel dizzy for example after spinning around and stopping, it's because the liquid in that organ is still moving and that tricks your brain into thinking that your actually moving still!. So, ear problems CAN be the cause of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

YES-
A few years ago I started having many, many dizzy spells!. Many times even while sitting down or laying in bed the room spun uncontrollably!. I was so worried that something really bad was wrong!. Long story short, my doctor suggested that it was ear-related, and there was a thick buildup of wax in them!. Had to have it removed at an ear doc!. It wasn't very pleasant, but instantly stopped the problem!. So, as everyone else is saying!.!.!.!.see your doctor (and just to rule out any other serious problem as well) Even if you are not experiencing major dizziness, it probably is still ear-related!. My symptoms started with being just light-headed as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
