Labyrinthitis
Labyrinthitis is an inner ear infection. It causes a delicate structure deep inside your ear called the labyrinth to become inflamed, affecting your hearing and balance.
Labyrinthitis is caused by inflammation of part of the inner ear known as the labyrinth. This is either caused by a viral or bacterial infection.
Your GP will usually diagnose labyrinthitis based on your symptoms, your medical history and a physical examination.
Labyrinthitis is usually treated using a combination of self-help techniques and medication. Chronic labyrinthitis may be treated with vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT).
