These include all the major organ systems- cardiovascular, hematologic, respiratory, etc. Objective: We aim to study the effects of pregnancy on symptoms related to the Ear. Methods: 40 pregnant patients attending the Obstetric outpatient department (OPD) were selected and given a questionnaire listing various ear-related symptoms in pregnancy. Based on the response to the questionnaire, data were tabulated and evaluated. Results: Imbalance in gait was found to be the commonest symptom followed by dizziness. Altered smell perception and increased ear secretion were the next common symptoms. Conclusion: Based on our study, we conclude that feeling of loss of balance and dizziness is the most common ear-related symptoms in pregnancy&#13;
