There are 2 little organs (1 in each ear) called cochlea. They tell your brain which way is up and detect motion, keeping you balanced. When you get an ear infection, there is often swelling in the ear, which puts pressure on the cochlea and 'confuses' it, causing bad signals to be sent to the brain and not allowing you to balance.
