Hey John,

Actually there is and can cause something call Benign Paoxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), a very common cause of dizziness.

“BPPV is a result of tiny crystals in your inner ear being out of place. The crystals make you sensitive to gravity and help you to keep your balance. Normally, a jelly-like membrane in your ear keeps the crystals where they belong. If the ear is damaged — often by a blow to the head — the crystals can shift to another part of the ear. When they are out of place, the crystals make you sensitive to movement and position changes that normally don’t affect you, sparking vertigo.” - Mayo Clinic
