Overview

The symptoms can be so severe and disabling that patients frequently go to the emergency room for care and require vestibular suppressants such as valium or meclizine in order to tolerate the vertigo. Symptoms typically subside over a few days, but may leave the patient with vague imbalance which slowly improves over weeks to months. Hearing loss rarely accompanies the vertigo in labyrinthitis. Occasionally a bacterial infection of the middle ear can spread to the inner ear and cause this disease. In this situation antibiotic treatment may be helpful.
