What happens if we...

Question

if we remove the fluid in our ears that help us balance?

Answer 1

We would fall over.... a lot

Answer 2

"The semicircular canals , the utricle and the saccule are the balance part of the inner ear." [ASHA]

Without these the balance of a person would be off, causing the person to fall over and not be able to stand very easy, if at all. Imagine spinning something which has perfect balance and weight all the way around, then take away or add weight to one side and the balance is off. That would be about the same thing that would happen in this case.

Some people are not able to wear ear plugs without being off balance as sound also affects balance.
