Labyrinthitis and Hearing Loss Overview

This document discusses various auditory conditions and tests related to hearing and balance, including sensory neural and conductive hearing loss, as well as tests like the Weber and Rinne tests. It covers conditions such as otosclerosis, labyrinthitis, and acoustic neuroma, along with treatments like stapedectomy and tympanoplasty. Additionally, it addresses tinnitus and its potential causes, including medication side effects.

Tests your ability to balance while
standing on a moving platform.
 Sinusoidal harmonic
acceleration – Evaluates how well
your inner ear and brain work
together to maintain balance.
 Middle ear endoscopy – Uses
a tiny camera to look inside your
middle ear for infections or other
issues.

1. What is Otosclerosis?
o A condition where
abnormal bone growth
in the middle ear (near
the stapes bone)
causes hearing loss by
preventing sound from
passing properly to the
inner ear.
2. What is a Stapedectomy?
o A surgical procedure to
remove the damaged
stapes (a tiny bone in
the middle ear) and
replace it with a
prosthetic device to
restore hearing.
 Labyrinthitis – Inflammation of
the inner ear (labyrinth), usually
due to infection. It can cause
dizziness, balance problems, and
hearing loss.

 Benign Positional Paroxysmal


Vertigo (BPPV) – A common
cause of vertigo (a spinning
sensation). It happens when tiny
calcium particles (canaliths) move
into the wrong part of the inner
ear, affecting balance.

 Ototoxicity – Damage to the


inner ear due to toxic substances,
often from certain medications (like
strong antibiotics or chemotherapy
drugs). It can lead to hearing loss
or balance problems.

 Acoustic Neuroma – A tumor


on the 8th cranial nerve
(vestibulocochlear nerve), which
controls hearing and balance. It
can cause hearing loss, tinnitus,
and dizziness.

TENNITUS CAUSED MED : ANTI


DEPRESSANTS

 Tinnitus – A ringing, buzzing, or


hissing sound in the ears, even
when there is no external noise. It
can be caused by exposure to loud
sounds, aging, or ear damage.
