• Does an ear infection affect hearing or equilibrium?
• What causes the sensation of motion sickness?
• Why do some people get vertigo or motion sickness more than others?
• Why do we feel dizzy after spinning in a circle?
• What causes that occasional “ringing” sound in our ears?
• When water gets “stuck” in our ears (swimming in a pool, from the shower, etc.) what part of the ear is the water stuck in?
• If you happened to have a punctured eardrum, and water got in your ears from swimming in a pool, where would the water leak into?
