I was just wandering if anyone knows why your balance would be off. I have been this way for such a long time & I am getting sick of it! Being clumsy is one thing, but, I can just be standing in one spot or walking normally & just literally start tipping over! My balance is way off! Any input on this would be helpful! Thanks.

It is where a bone in your skull is malformed and your brain slips into the whole causing all kinds of problems, it is genetic and symptoms don't always end the way my friends did, some are more severe and others less. But this disease affects your brain, memory and balance so just a thought that maybe something more than your ears could be the culprit.

If something is out of kilter in your ears, it can affect balance and cause dizziness.
That may not be the problem, but it's worth looking into.
