Inner ear problems refer to issues affecting the structures responsible for hearing and balance, including the cochlea and vestibular system. Common conditions include Meniere's disease, which can cause vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss, and labyrinthitis, an inflammation that can lead to dizziness and balance difficulties. These problems can result from infections, injuries, or age-related changes. Symptoms may include ringing in the ears, a feeling of fullness, or difficulty maintaining balance. Treatment options vary and may include medications, therapy, or in some cases, surgery, depending on the specific condition and its severity.
