Research suggests that about 60% of dizziness is of Labyrinthe origin. It is important to note that the term “dizziness” can be used to describe a lot of different sensations however. Lightheadiness or “typical” dizziness can be caused by a range of problems including: systemic illnesses, change in blood pressure, cervical (neck) dizziness and others. Inner ear dizziness, as we have both found out, is quite frankly, in a league of its own! As discussed, Inner ear dizziness is different to the “normal” dizziness most people have experienced at some point in their lives. With Uncompensated Labyrinthitis, there are generally a host of symptoms rather than a couple. Not only does the patient feel dizzy but the world looks very different to how it did. Ear symptoms are commonly noted as are others such as problems with memory and fatigue. Labyrinthitis most commonly starts with an acute bout of spinning vertigo which is very frightening – and then slowly turns into a sense of imbalance and dizziness. This is not the only way Labyrinthitis can start though. Another way is for the patient to feel a somewhat insiduous feeling of dizziness which then escalates over about one week – the spinning attack is never experienced (although sometimes it is whilst the patient is asleep and therefore does not notice) but instead severe dizziness in the head as well as disequilibrium and a feeling that the world is hugely surreal. Our Labyrinthitis started in different ways but we have the same symptoms. Below are the symptoms that both of us have/are experiencing as a result of Uncompensated Labyrinthitis. The symptoms are experienced 24/7, not in spells, from the moment we wake up, they are there CONSTANTLY. Ilia however, has now reached a point where she feels ok for much of the time - due to compensation - but for a long time they were there all the time.

You haven't actually asked a question, but I would suggest that you see your doctor. It sounds like something is in your auditory system that shouldn't be there.

I'm not sure what the question is, but you need to see a physician. It sounds like the infection is moving to your ears.
