Why do I get hearing problems during my vertigo episodes?

Inner ear contains both the organs of hearing and balance. Often, the same diseases that affect the balance organs, are now responsible for your vertigo, will also affect your hearing organs. So it is common, particularly in a disease called Meniere's disease, that the patient has at the same time very violent attacks of vertigo, spinning around, vomiting, and at the same time, with significant hearing loss, or pressure in the ear, or noises in the ear.
