The inner ear includes the three semicircular canals. They (plus the base of each called the ampullaris) are involved in:
1. Static Equilibrium in the ampulla which contains the sense for position of head when body is not moving.
2. Dynamic Equilibrium in the semicircular canals which senses rotation and movement of head and body.
The semicircular ear canals are passages in the inner ear associated with maintaining equilibrium via the endolymph fluid & sensory hair cells.
The cerebellum is the brain structure that maintains balance.
medulla
The Hindbrain controls coordination and equilibrium. The metencephalon contains structures such as the pons and cerebellum. These regions assists in maintaining balance and equilibrium, movement coordination, and the conduction of sensory information.

No it doesn't because they give sound to the cochlea but don't distribute sounds.

The human body maintains balance and equilibrium by using the eyes and the middle ear. If the input from both do not "match" in the brain, a person will feel a lack of balance. Such occurs after drinking alcohol in excess.
The cerebellum (infratentorial or back of brain) is located at the back of the head. Its function is to coordinate voluntary muscle movements and to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium.

Alcohol affects the brain first, which is where your balance and equilibrium organs reside. So naturally, alcohol makes your balance much worse and can also affect your decision making.

It takes several systems to help you balance. The eyes , ears, and brain all work together. The brain translates all the information for you.In the your ears, balance is determined by the level of fluid properly called endolymph in the labyrinth - a twisted tube inside your ear. It is like a fluid level you use.
The cerebellum is involved in the coordination of voluntary motor movement, balance and equilibrium and muscle tone. It is located just above the brain stem and toward the back of the brain. It is relatively well protected from trauma compared to the frontal and temporal lobes and brain stem.
