4. Vestibular Nerve Inflammation
Vestibular neuritis is an inflammation of the vestibular nerve, affecting balance and resulting in vertigo, but there is often no change in hearing. The inflammation interrupts sensory information sent from the ear to the brain.5‘Labyrinthitis and Vestibular Neuritis.’ VeDA, 19 Nov. 2020, vestibular.org/article/diagnosis-treatment/types-of-vestibular-disorders/labyrinthitis-and-vestibular-neuritis/.
This condition may be caused by a virus and can result in sudden and severe vertigo attacks. The symptoms can be so powerful they affect the ability to walk or stand. Vestibular neuritis can affect young to middle-aged adults and often comes after an upper respiratory infection.
