Guide To Labyrinthitis Symptoms

Loss Of Balance

The loss of balance due to labyrinthitis can occur alongside dizziness, or it can occur by itself. Balance loss is best described as an individual who cannot walk straight or stand upright correctly. Most cases of labyrinthitis that cause a loss of balance are due to the brain's altered interpretation of the balance signals that are or are not being transmitted properly within the vestibular nerve, resulting in dizziness and loss of balance. It is rare for an individual with labyrinthitis to lose their balance without some type of spinning or movement because the same inner ear components are involved with both symptoms. Loss of balance episodes are more likely to occur when an individual first stands upright after sitting or first sits upright after laying down. Permanent or long-lasting balance loss and dizziness are rare complications that can result from severe labyrinthitis.
