2. Vestibular Neuronitis Symptoms
People who have vestibular neuronitis may experience vertigo. Vertigo occurs when a person feels like the world is moving or spinning. For some, these symptoms are barely noticeable, but for others, the vertigo is disruptive. Nausea and vomiting are also possible.3‘Inner Ear.’ Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., www.britannica.com/science/inner-ear.
Another symptom is nystagmus. This is when a person's eyes move spontaneously or rapidly toward the ear with neuronitis.These symptoms may last for seven to 10 days, and sometimes weeks or months.4Lawrence R.
