10 Ruptured Eardrum Symptoms

Symptom #3: Vertigo
It is a common misconception that the word vertigo means a fear of heights. What it really means, however, is a sensation that everything around you is spinning even when you are stood or sat still. It can be a very unpleasant experience and it can also cause the patient to lose their balance.
Our ears house instruments that help us to balance. If these are affected, then they can send confusing messages to the brain, resulting in the sensation that everything around us is spinning. It can be debilitating for patients, but the symptom should hopefully start clearing up as the damage is repaired.
