Labyrinthitis
Labyrinthitis is a disorder of the inner ear. It is caused by inflammation of the parts of the inner ear responsible for balance, which can lead to vertigo, dizziness, nausea, hearing loss, and tinnitus. It can be caused by bacterial or viral infection, a head injury, or an allergic reaction. Treatment involves reducing the inflammation with medication and physical therapy. Labyrinthitis can be disabling, but with proper treatment it can be managed, allowing people to lead normal lives.
