Labyrinthitis
Modern MedicalLabyrinthitis is inflammation of the inner ear, the part that controls balance and hearing. It typically causes sudden vertigo, a feeling that the room is spinning, along with unsteadiness, nausea and sometimes hearing loss or ringing in the ear. It often follows a viral infection such as a cold. Symptoms usually ease over days to weeks, though some imbalance can linger.
