Can Hearing Aids Cause Dizziness, Hot Flashes And Vomiting?
For the past eight months, i have been getting dizzy spells, feeling warm, then throwing up. I don t know if it s from my inner ear, from my hearing aids or what the cause is. I have had two such episodes within the last four days. Should I see an neurologist or an ENT

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Inner ear is associated with maintenance of balance and equilibrium.
Infections, inflammation or any other lesion of inner ear can cause dizziness and loss of balance / equilibrium.
Hearing aid is an external device and is unlikely to cause symptoms of dizziness and loss of balance.
I am of the opinion that the dizzy spells are due to some neurological cause and not due to any inner ear problem.
Thus, I suggest you to consult a neurologist for clinical assessment and thus management.
Thanks and take care
