Ear infection- losing balance?

Hi... I have had an ear infection in both ears for a few weeks and have been using antibiotic/steroid ear drops for 8 days now. I have no pain - just intense itching deep inside - but have noticed my hearing is slightly affected these past couple of days.

Today, when I stand up or bend down, I'm losing my balance. I don't go dizzy as such - it just feels like the room is spinning briefly. It's really strange. Do you think this is related to my ear infection?

Yes.

Yes it's fluid trapped behind your eardrum. It should clear of its own accord...

Sounds like labyrinthitis, hope you feel better soon.
