Thank you.
Answer Dear Terry:
Vestibular Neuronitis or "Labyrinthitis" is believed to be a viral infection of the inner ear. It is also called "Neurolabyrinthitis". It is often followed by benign positional paroxysmal vertigo or BPPV. The conditions are described more fully on my vertigo website at: www.ivertigo.net .
