  https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/labyrinthitis-and-vestibular-neuritis

  Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis are disorders that result in inflammation of the inner ear and the nerve connecting the inner ear to the brain. […] Symptoms of vestibular neuritis include a sudden onset of a constant, intense spinning sensation that is usually disabling and requires bed rest. It is often also linked with nausea, vomiting, unsteadiness, imbalance, difficulty with vision and the inability to concentrate. […] While neuritis affects only the inner ear balance apparatus, labyrinthitis also affects the inner ear hearing apparatus and/or the cochlear nerve, which transmits hearing information. This means that labyrinthitis may cause hearing loss and/or ringing in the ears (tinnitus). […] The infections that cause vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis may resolve without treatment within a few weeks. However, if the inner ear is permanently damaged by the infection and the brain does not adequately compensate, symptoms can persist.

  https://patient.info/doctor/vestibular-neuritis-and-labyrinthitis-pro

  Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis are sometimes used interchangeably. However, experts in the field recommend that the term 'vestibular neuritis’ be confined to cases in which the vestibular nerve only is involved, with the term 'labyrinthitis’ being used in cases in which the vestibular nerve and the labyrinth are affected. […] Typically they produce disturbances of balance to varying degrees and may affect one or both ears. Essentially there is a sudden disruption of afferent neural input resulting in acute vertigo plus, in the case of labyrinthitis, hearing loss. […] Symptoms of labyrinthitis occur when there is inflammation of the membranous labyrinth and when there is damage to the vestibular and auditory end organs. Since the cochlea is invariably affected in labyrinthine inflammation, hearing loss is always present to some degree.

  https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/labyrinthitis/

  You have symptoms of labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis that do not get better after a few days or are getting worse. […] The symptoms of vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis are very similar. […] However, if your hearing is affected, then labyrinthitis is the cause. This is because inflammation of the labyrinth affects hearing, while inflammation of the vestibular nerve does not.

• #4 Labyrinthitis and Vestibular Neuritis | Children’s Hospital Colorado

  https://www.childrenscolorado.org/conditions-and-advice/conditions-and-symptoms/conditions/labyrinthitis-neuritis/

  Labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis are two conditions of the inner ear and 8th cranial nerve that can lead to balance and hearing problems. Vestibular neuritis affects the vestibular portion of the inner ear/nerve, while labyrinthitis affects the entire inner ear/nerve, including both the balance and hearing organs. […] Labyrinthitis causes hearing loss and dizziness while vestibular neuritis only causes dizziness or vertigo. […] What are the signs and symptoms of labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis? Sudden severe dizziness or vertigo that lasts several days to a week, nausea and vomiting, fever, headache, ear pressure and/or pain, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), decreased hearing in one or both ears (labyrinthitis only). […] If an infection is causing your child’s symptoms, we will prescribe antibiotic or antiviral medications. For labyrinthitis, corticosteroids may reduce inflammation and hopefully restore hearing. We may also recommend short-term use of medications to treat dizziness and nausea to reduce the symptoms of vertigo. […] Sometimes the infection can result in permanent damage, but quick intervention is the best way to restore hearing and vestibular function.

  https://thanchospital.com/vestibular-neuritis-guide/

  Vestibular neuritis, also referred to as vestibular neuritis, is a condition that causes vertigo and dizziness. It results from inflammation of your vestibular nerve, a nerve in the ear that sends information to your brain about balance. When this nerve becomes inflamed or swollen, it interrupts the way your brain reads information. This results in dizziness, vertigo and other balance-related symptoms. […] Vestibular neuritis usually improves after a few days. However, the symptoms can take about three weeks to subside. You may also have recurring periods of dizziness and vertigo for several months. […] Typically, people with vestibular neuritis go through an acute phase and a chronic phase. In most cases, this means sudden, severe symptoms for about one week, followed by milder symptoms that last anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

  In vestibular neuritis or neuronitis, the area of nerve inflammation or damage is located on the branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve that innervates the balance organ. The hearing remains normal, but the following symptoms occur: […] In labyrinthitis, both branches of the vestibulocochlear nerve are affected leading to same symptoms of neuritis (severe sudden vertigo or dizziness, nausea/vomiting, imbalance, nystagmus) along with hearing loss. […] In vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis symptoms resolve without treatment after several weeks. Anti-nausea medications may be prescribed to help with initial symptoms. On some occasions, medications may be prescribed by your otolaryngologists if necessary. If vertigo does not resolve after several weeks, vestibular rehabilitation therapy by specially trained physical therapists may be recommended to help retrain the brain to adapt and compensate for the incorrect signals. […] In labyrinthitis hearing loss may or may not improve. If hearing loss does not improve, hearing technology may be recommended.

  Vestibular neuritis, also referred to as vestibular neuritis, is a condition that causes vertigo and dizziness. It results from inflammation of your vestibular nerve, a nerve in the ear that sends information to your brain about balance. When this nerve becomes inflamed or swollen, it interrupts the way your brain reads information. This results in dizziness, vertigo and other balance-related symptoms. […] Vestibular neuritis usually improves after a few days. However, the symptoms can take about three weeks to subside. You may also have recurring periods of dizziness and vertigo for several months. […] Typically, people with vestibular neuritis go through an acute phase and a chronic phase. In most cases, this means sudden, severe symptoms for about one week, followed by milder symptoms that last anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Its rare, but some people develop long-term vestibular neuritis symptoms which last for years.

  Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis are thought to be caused by a viral infection that affects the inner ear. These two conditions typically cause vertigo, often with sickness (vomiting). […] The main symptom of vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis is vertigo. Vertigo is the sensation that you or your surroundings are moving. If you have vertigo you may feel as if the world is spinning and you may feel very unsteady. […] Symptoms of a viral vestibular neuritis or viral labyrinthitis can last anything from a few days to several weeks.

  When the additional symptom of unilateral hearing loss is present, this shifts the diagnosis towards labyrinthitis. […] The auditory function in patients with vestibular neuritis is usually preserved, but when there is combined unilateral hearing loss, it is called labyrinthitis. […] The treatment of vestibular neuritis usually consists of acute symptomatic treatment with medications such as antiemetics (promethazine, metoclopramide), antihistamines (diphenhydramine, meclizine), and benzodiazepines (diazepam, lorazepam). […] The natural history of this disease is uncomplicated with complete resolution in most cases. Some can have incomplete resolution and with a study showing 15% with persistent symptoms at one year. […] Two important complications associated with vestibular neuritis are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD), a relatively new term.

  Vestibular neuritis can be treated with corticosteroids (a type of anti-inflammatory medication) in the early stages, and, if necessary, with medication to reduce nausea and vertigo. […] The treatment of labyrinthitis depends on the likely cause. If symptoms persist, a specialist physiotherapist can use vestibular rehabilitation exercises to retrain the brain to interpret the distorted balance messages being transmitted from the damaged inner ear and improve symptoms.

  Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis are sometimes used interchangeably. However, experts in the field recommend that the term 'vestibular neuritis’ be confined to cases in which the vestibular nerve only is involved, with the term 'labyrinthitis’ being used in cases in which the vestibular nerve and the labyrinth are affected. […] Typically they produce disturbances of balance to varying degrees and may affect one or both ears. Essentially there is a sudden disruption of afferent neural input resulting in acute vertigo plus, in the case of labyrinthitis, hearing loss. […] Symptoms of labyrinthitis occur when there is inflammation of the membranous labyrinth and when there is damage to the vestibular and auditory end organs. Since the cochlea is invariably affected in labyrinthine inflammation, hearing loss is always present to some degree.
