What is Vestibular Hypofunction?
With vestibular hypofunction, the balance part of the inner ear is not working properly.
This can occur on one side (unilateral hypofunction), or on both sides of the head (bilateral hypofunction).
Unilateral hypofunction can occur after damage from a variety of causes, including vestibular neuritis, vestibular schwannoma/treatments for vestibular schwannoma, and Meniere’s disease/treatments for Meniere’s disease.
Bilateral hypofunction can occur after damage to the inner ear/balance nerve from a variety of causes, including exposure to aminoglycoside antibiotics, neurofibromatosis type II, CANVAS syndrome, autoimmune disease, congenital problems, trauma, superficial siderosis, and idiopathic causes.
