Conditions We Treat: Bilateral Loss of Labyrinthine Function
The labyrinth is a chamber in your middle ear that contains tiny organs that help you hear and maintain your sense balance while you’re in motion, such as when walking, running or simply moving your head quickly. Bilateral (occurring in both ears) loss of function can affect your sense of balance and make your visual world appear to “jump” when you are in motion.
Bilateral Loss of Labyrinthine Function: Why Choose Johns Hopkins

- Johns Hopkins neurologists have the expertise to diagnose bilateral vestibular loss.
- With a full understanding of neurological conditions affecting the vestibular system of the inner ear, experts at the Neuro-Visual and Vestibular Center can recommend the most appropriate treatment for bilateral vestibular loss.
- Our supportive, team approach, along with specialized physical therapy and rehabilitation, can improve symptoms and quality of life.

Treatment for Bilateral Loss of Labyrinthine Function
Recovering from bilateral labyrinthine function loss takes time. The object of treatment is to help retrain your body to gauge space and motion, using other cues to compensate for the loss of sensation in your inner ear. At Johns Hopkins, we can recommend the newest and most effective therapies and help you get connected with a physical rehabilitation team.
