6. Inner Ear Infection
Peripheral vertigo may accompany labyrinthitis, which can be caused by various microbes, although it often results from a viral infection of the labyrinth or the eighth cranial nerve. This infection causes inflammation around the nerves that sense balance.
Labyrinthitis can result in severe vertigo that lasts for a day or more and is sometimes accompanied by hearing loss. Once the infection is gone, most patients recover fully. If it persists, an ear, nose and throat specialist can advise the appropriate treatment.
