Could this be why I am clumsy?

So, I am a very clumsy person. I used to think I have been clumsy my whole life but I got to thinking the other day that I used to be really good at balancing...when I was 6, they moved me up to three classes in gymnastics because I was so good. When I was 5, I had my dad take off the training wheels on my bike and on the first push, I was riding, I didn't crash or fall off my bike once...I could actually do things...pretty well actually....

But, when I was in 3rd grade, I got really sick and ended up losing some of my hearing in my left ear. I remember reading somewhere that sometimes ear problems can affect a person's balance and I was wondering if maybe this is why I am a clumsy person now? I mean, I trip a lot and run into door frames as if my depth perception is off (though, my eyes are pretty bad, too...)
