There are numerous causes for dizziness, but the most common are related to the inner ear. Inflammation in the inner ear (called acute vestibular neuritis) can cause sudden vertigo that may not go away for days. Sometimes the dizziness is accompanied by nausea or vomiting. These symptoms can interfere with daily life when they get too debilitating to go to work or proceed with other normal activities. Many of the diseases that cause dizziness can also cause disequilibrium, also known as a loss of balance. Inner ear problems can cause a person to feel like they are unsteady, especially in the dark. This can be dangerous, especially for seniors, so it is important to identify and treat the underlying cause as soon as possible.

Additionally, Meniere’s disease, the excessive buildup of fluid in the inner ear, also causes vertigo. Other symptoms include intermittent hearing loss, a ringing sensation in the ear and a feeling of fullness in the ear causing problems. An acoustic neuroma can cause dizziness and imbalance that comes along with worsening hearing loss. This is a benign growth on the vestibular nerve (connecting the inner ear to the brain). The most common cause of vertigo is called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, a mechanical problem with the inner ear. It can be caused by infections, damage caused during surgery and nerve inflammation, and some of the disorders that cause this ailment are known to damage the inner ear.
