The disorder may cause a person to experience such symptoms as sudden, severe vertigo (spinning/swaying sensation), dizziness, balance difficulties, nausea, vomiting, and concentration difficulties. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
The phenomenon is accompanied by nausea, vomiting and nystagmus, an involuntary and oscillatory movement of the eyes. [otorino-vertigini.it]
Doctors recommend oral drugs to check nausea and vomiting. In cases of acute nausea and vomiting, the patient may be put on IV fluids to control the dehydration. Vestibular suppressant medicines help control vertigo and dizziness sensations. [neuroequilibrium.in]

Hearing Problem
Since the labyrinth contains both the balance and hearing organs, not only do you get vertigo, but hearing problems as well. When your central nervous system is the cause, it is known as central vertigo. [articles.mercola.com]
However, in Labyrinthitis, both the parts of vestibulocochlear nerve get affected causing balance as well as hearing problems. Vertigo and dizziness symptoms are more intense in the 1st couple of days. The severity of the symptoms may then decrease. [neuroequilibrium.in]
For years, tinnitus was considered a hearing problem but research is showing that the damage is more intrinsic. [positivehealth.com]
Other symptoms may include: nausea vomiting nystagmus (an abnormal eye movement) sweating weakness difficulty walking hearing problems Young children may have trouble describing their symptoms, but will appear off-balance and the episodes tend to be of [childneurologyfoundation.org]

Ear Fullness
I also have constant ear-fullness. Do you? I finally saw a really good specialist who diagnosed me with new onset chronic daily tension headaches, which he believes started as a "side-effect" of the VN. Apparently, this is fairly typical. [healthboards.com]
Menière’s disease causes hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, and ear fullness, usually occurring together in discreet episodes. Progressive damage to the inner ear can occur over time, resulting in permanent hearing loss and balance impairments. [ohns.ucsf.edu]
The caregiver can report observations of the episodes, with any associated symptoms (nausea, vomiting, nystagmus, hearing loss, feeling of ear fullness, tinnitus). [childneurologyfoundation.org]

Fluctuating Hearing Loss
In addition to sudden and severe vertigo, Meniere's disease can cause fluctuating hearing loss and buzzing, ringing or a feeling of fullness in your ear. The cause of Meniere's disease isn't fully known. [mayoclinic.org]
Return to Top Meniere’s syndrome is the constellation of symptoms that include fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, fullness sensation in the ear and vertigo spells lasting at least 20 minutes, but typically 2-3 hours in duration. [earandbalance.net]

Dizziness
Meniere's disease may be the result of fluid problems in your inner ear; its symptoms include tinnitus and dizziness. Ear barotrauma is an injury to your ear because of changes in barometric (air) or water pressure. [icdlist.com]
