10. Unsteady Gait
An unsteady gait may be caused by vertigo from a viral or bacterial infection in the ear. Perilymph fistula is a leakage of inner ear fluid into the middle ear caused by a tear.7Sarna, Brooke, et al. ‘Perilymphatic Fistula: A Review of Classification, Etiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment.’ Frontiers in Neurology, Frontiers Media S.A., 15 Sept. 2020, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7522398/. This tear can be caused by chronic ear infections.
The most noted symptoms of perilymph fistula are ear fullness, hearing loss, and vertigo and unsteadiness when walking that increases with activity and decreases with rest. Vertigo can affect your body’s ability to control the movements required for steady walking.
