2,5 -- Degeneration and atrophy of inner ear structures concerned with balance and equilibrium increase the risk for falls. With loss of high frequency sounds, speech may be distorted, contributing to a risk for problems with communication. Infection, medication errors, and food intolerance are unrelated to vestibular changes.
