The sensory cells in the inner ear gradually deteriorate with age, just as muscles and joints lose their ability to function.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The 3 pillars of balance: The brain relies on three sources: the inner ear (balance organ), the eyes (visual system) and the joint sensors (proprioception). If the inner ear fails, the eyes and joints have to compensate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uncertainty in the dark: When visual control is lost at dusk or at night, the brain loses the most important source of balance and many sufferers hardly dare leave the house in the dark.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Challenge of uneven ground: Soft forest ground, beach sand or uneven pavement make it difficult to sense the movement of the joints. When weak inner ear and uneven ground come together, the risk of falling increases dramatically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 Would you like to understand the causes, tests, and targeted training approaches for age-related dizziness in detail?
