Not a doctor of anything: inside your head, next to the part that handles hearing, but not really related to your ears per se, there are three little rings partially filled with fluid, one ring for each dimension we can move in. When we move or rotate, the fluid in these rings will move too, (think of a glass of water you’re moving around, the water inside moves too). Based on the movement of this liquid in these rings, our brain can figure out how we are moving, and where the ground is etc.
