Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Meningitis is a kind of serious infection of brain. The inner part of ear is connected to brain through a fluid that circulates between inner ear and brain. Through this fluid infection can spread from brain to inner ear. This can cause damage to inner ear and may cause hearing and balance issues. Consult an ENT surgeon and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
