Cause #4: Changes To Ear Structure
There are a number of changes that can occur in the bones of the ears. In one condition, known as otosclerosis, the bones in the middle ear become stiff. This can cause problems with hearing, like tinnitus, and can also affect your balance.
This condition is hereditary, so if your parents have it, you’re more likely to develop it at sometime during your life. It’s also possible to experience some changes to the structure of your inner ear if you are injured or experience bad health.
