Inner Ear Dizziness
Half of the inner ear is used for hearing (the cochlea) and the other half is used for balance (the labyrinth). If the labyrinth or the nerve that connects it to the brain is malfunctioning, dizziness can result.

Answer:

In turn, the brain tells your body how to stay balanced. If you're on a rollercoaster or a boat that's moving up and down, the fluid in your inner ears might take a while to stop moving. This is why you may feel dizzy for a little while even when you stop moving or are on solid ground. Dizziness caused by the inner ear may feel like a whirling or spinning sensation (vertigo), unsteadiness or lightheadedness and it may be constant or intermittent. It may be aggravated by certain head motions or sudden positional changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

How do you fix dizziness in the inner ear?

1) Sit on the edge of your bed. Turn your head 45 degrees to the right.

2)Quickly lie down on your left side. Stay there for 30 seconds.

3)Quickly move to lie down on the opposite end of your bed. ...

4) Return slowly to sitting and wait a few minutes.

5) Reverse these moves for the right ear.
