Vestibular dysfunction of the ear refers to abnormal vestibular function caused by peripheral vestibular disorders, such as vestibular neuronitis, motion sickness, Meniere’s disease, vestibular paroxysm, and delayed membranous labyrinthine effusion. The main symptoms include vertigo, spinning of the vision, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, pallor, tinnitus in the ears with cold sweats, and stuffy sensations in the head and the ears, and deafness in some of these disorders.
The main function of the vestibular system is to maintain homeostasis, and the endolymphatic fluid contained in its structure communicates with the cochlea. In lesions involving the inner ear and the inner auditory canal segment of the auditory nerve, deafness can occur in the presence of vestibular dysfunction.
After identifying the various types of diseases that cause this range of symptoms, the cause should be proactively identified, and treatment should be standardized as prescribed by the physician in an effort to reduce the incidence of permanent hearing loss.
