Can sensorineural hearing loss be linked to dizziness?

Dr Ethan has provided a good summary on the possible causes of vertigo. Vertigo is a type of giddiness whereby a patient feels that the room is spinning or he/she is spinning. If this is what you experience, then you should see an ENT Specialist first. Most vertigo are due to peripheral causes (meaning there is a problem with the balancing system of the ear). Central causes of vertigo (due to a problem in the brain) are fortunately much rarer.

There are many possible causes of feeling faint and dizzy so it will be good to seek the help of a medical doctor for a proper medical evaluation. Blood tests would also be required. Reasons why you are feeling faint or dizzy Here is a list of some of the common conditions that I have encountered in my years of experience as a doctor: Dehydration. When a person does not drink enough fluids, the blood pressure goes down. As a result, there is a lack of oxygen supply to the brain and a person would feel dizzy.
