data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The inner ear consists of two interconnected structures: the vestibular organ, which is needed for balance, and the cochlea, which enables hearing. These structures are surrounded by bone and filled with a fluid (endolymph).<\/p><p>There are three semicircular canals in each ear, which are arranged at right angles to each other. They perceive head inclinations and rotations. For example, when you nod your head, the sluggish endolymph in the posterior semicircular canal initially remains still while the semicircular canal moves. This causes the endolymph to press against special hair cells that signal to your brain that your head is moving.<\/p><p>The cochlea is a tube that is rolled up and looks like a snail shell. It converts sound waves into nerve signals that are transmitted to your brain so that you can hear. The sound waves enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate, which is transmitted to the stapes bone. This tiny bone presses on the oval window. This structure is located at one end of the cochlea and causes pressure waves in the endolymph within the cochlea. The organ of Corti in the cochlea converts these pressure waves into nerve signals. Finally, the pressure waves leave the cochlea through another structure, the round window. The round window acts like a drain valve for the cochlea: it moves outwards when the oval window moves inwards, and vice versa.<\/p><p>The oval window and the round window are membranes. The rest of the inner ear is rigid because it is enclosed by bone. Normally, the round and oval windows are the only structures of the inner ear that move in response to the sound waves so that the sound waves stay in the cochlea. However, if there is a hole in the bone covering one of the semicircular canals, there is now a \"third window\" in the inner ear. This means that some of the sound waves do not remain in the cochlea, but can escape into the semicircular canal. This leads to several problems:<\/p><ul><li>The pressure of the sound waves in the cochlea is lower, so they cannot all be converted into nerve impulses. This means that you cannot hear some sounds well.<\/li><li>The sound waves can press against the hair cells of the semicircular canals, causing your brain to think your head is moving when it is not.<\/li><li>Sound waves from inside the body can enter the semicircular canals and then the cochlea, causing these internal body sounds to be distorted or louder than normal.<\/li><\/ul><p>Sometimes the hole is up to two millimeters in size. However, the hole can also be as small as a pinhole and still cause symptoms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ea9d450 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-accordion\" data-id=\"4ea9d450\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:400}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\n        <div class=\"elementskit-accordion accoedion-primary\" id=\"accordion-69eb3cc594030\">\n\n            \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card\">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-0-4ea9d450\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-a6e330569eb3cc594030\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-a6e330569eb3cc594030\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-a6e330569eb3cc594030\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">Symptoms of semicircular canal dehiscence  <\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-plus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-minus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-a6e330569eb3cc594030\" class=\"collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-0-4ea9d450\" data-parent=\"#accordion-69eb3cc594030\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p>The symptoms of semicircular canal dehiscence vary from person to person.
