Detailed Answer:
Hi,

High hemoglobin, red blood cell and hematocrit over a period of time may cause dizziness. Further, it may have some effects on the brain that may also cause imbalance, blurred vision and so on.

However since you have triad of dizziness, imbalance and hearing impairment, I would also consider to check your ears. Clinical assessment of the ear and hearing test will help us understand if there is an ear condition causing your symptoms.

Hope I am clear. Let me know if you need clarifications.
