What are some common causes of vertigo?

- Vertigo may be caused by problems with the brain or the inner ear.
- Labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis may also produce vertigo. Labyrinthitis is an infection of the inner ear that may cause hearing loss. Labyrinthitis is caused by an infection of the inner ear with a virus or bacterium.

- The most frequent kind of vertigo is BVVP (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), which is caused by a buildup of microscopic calcium particles (canaliths) within the inner ear canal. By giving a signal to the brain, the inner ear assists the vestibular system in balancing bodily movement. Canalith deposition makes it difficult for the inner ear to relay signals adequately, resulting in abrupt head movement and dizziness.
- It may also be caused by an acoustic neuroma, which is a form of tumour of the nerve tissue in the inner ear. Acoustic neuroma symptoms include hearing loss and ringing in the ear.
- It may also be caused by Meniere’s illness. Meniere’s disease is an inner ear illness characterised by fluctuating pressure and fluid buildup within the ear. This condition is linked to inconsistency in hearing loss as well as ringing in the ears.
- Vertigo may also arise as a result of a neck or head injury, medicine that causes ear damage, Migraine, or other brain issues such as tumours and stroke.
