What I have is Acute Neuronitis, which is related to vertigo.
In vestibular neuronitis (involving the vestibular system only) or labyrinthitis (involving the entire labyrinth: vestibular system and cochlea with associated hearing loss) one inner ear does not function and the relative 'overstimulation' of stimuli from the normal ear to the brain produces excessive vertigo.
Balance retraining exercises (vestibular rehabilitation) are used to treat acute vestibular neuronitis or labyrinthitis.
