Yes you are correct, your ears are connected with balance, recently when I had a severe ear infection I used to get very giddy and couldnt walk in a straight line, I also had the same problem with ferretts.

The semi circular canals in the ears control our sense of balance.

i've got labirynthitis!
The labirynth is a little maze in the inner ear, like a tiny spirit level that tells you which way is up. i can promise you - it definately controls your balance!!
