Conditions We Treat: Labyrinthitis

Labyrinthitis is an inflammation or infection of the labyrinth, the balance and hearing organs within the inner ear. It causes vertigo and hearing loss. Vestibular neuritis is a condition that affects the vestibular nerve, which connects the inner ear to the brain.

With time and the right treatment, the prognosis is good.
