Falls could involve simple slips on an icy surface to a fall from a height while on a ladder/construction site for example. [wsiat.on.ca]
- Impaired Balance
Labyrinthine symptoms (hearing loss, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, impaired balance, etc.) are usually pronounced. The patient has to be on the healthy side of the ear, with slightly bowed head anteriorly. [survinat.com]
- Recent Upper Respiratory Infection
Bacterial labyrinthitis may produce a discharge from the infected ear. Diagnosis The diagnosis of labyrinthitis is based on a combination of the patient's symptoms and history—especially a history of a recent upper respiratory infection. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

- Nystagmus
Nystagmus horizontal - Rotary. Busy the ipsilateral labyrinth in excitement, irritability state. Therefore, the fast phase nystagmus ipsilateral. [e.uuuwell.com]
It is also possible for the nystagmus in the fistula test to be reversed, that is : On compression, nystagmus to the healthy side (reversed compression nystagmus). On aspiration, nystagmus to the diseased side (reversed aspiration nystagmus). [ebooksread.com]
This to-and-fro motion is termed nystagmus. Actually, there are two major types of nystagmus, "jerk nystagmus" and "pendular nystagmus". The first type (and the type generated by the vestibular system) is" jerk nystagmus." [dartmouth.edu]

When the dizziness is severe and cannot be controlled with diet and medications, surgery may be needed. [childrenshospital.org]
Once you have defined what the patient means by dizziness, it is important to understand the timing of the dizziness, whether it appears constantly or in attacks, what they do when they experience dizziness and whether there are any associated symptoms [dartmouth.edu]

Prognosis Most patients with labyrinthitis recover completely, although it often takes five to six weeks for the vertigo to disappear completely and the patient's hearing to return to normal. In a few cases the hearing loss is permanent. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

In this event, the prognosis for recovery of facial nerve function is variable and depends on the length of time the paresis has been present before surgery. [entokey.com]
Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
C 2 Treatment should be directed at the underlying etiology of the nausea and vomiting. [aafp.org]
Still other treatment ideas are directed at other presumed etiologies. [otologytextbook.net]
When no other etiology is apparent clinically, a pattern of involvement of both the nerve, especially distally within the IAC and the labyrinth, suggests a viral etiology.) FIGURE 117.4. [radiologykey.com]
The precise etiology is often unknown. The infection may be viral, in which case the clinical course is similar to that of vestibular neuronitis. Cases have reportedly been associated with measles and mumps. Bacteria may also cause labyrinthitis. [vertigoexercises.us]
Epidemiology
Prevalence and Epidemiology Bacterial meningitis in children has been reported to cause permanent hearing loss in 10.0% to 13.9%. 1, 2 It is the most common cause of postnatal acquired sensorineural hearing loss. [radiologykey.com]
Causative viruses and bacteria Little direct evidence suggests a viral cause for labyrinthitis; however, a wealth of epidemiologic evidence implicates a number of viruses as potentially causing inflammation of the labyrinth. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology Herpes zoster is seen as a disease of older people (most commonly over 60 years old). [ 1 ] However, it can affect all ages, although is rare in children. [patient.info]
