What role does your ear play in helping you keep your balance?

Question

I know that the way the body keeps its balance is somehow related to the ears, but I would like some in-depth information as to how the system works.

Answer 1

Here is something from webmd. its all about ear problem as well as the ear and have pictures of ears. I hope this is what you where looking for

During a cold, sinus, or throat infection or an allergy attack, the eustachian tubes, which connect the middle ear to the throat, can become blocked. This stops fluid from draining from the middle ear. This fluid is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria or viruses to grow into an ear infection

Ear pain (mild to severe). Babies often pull or tug at their ears when they have an earache. When the fluid in the middle ear builds up, the eardrum may burst (rupture). Once it ruptures, the fluid drains, and the pain usually stops. The hole in the eardrum often heals by itself in a few weeks.
Fever.
Drainage from the ear that is thick and yellow. Blood in this fluid can mean the eardrum has ruptured.
Loss of appetite, vomiting, and grumpy behavior.
Trouble sleeping.
Possible loss of hearing.
