Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) is a syndrome of progressive hearing loss and/or dizziness that is caused by antibodies or immune cells which are attacking the inner ear.
Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease
Brian McCabe, MD, first described autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss in his landmark 1979 paper.
in children (12 causes), Acute pimples on ears (9 causes), Auditory hallucination (7 causes), Auditory hallucinations (48 causes), Auricular pits and/or tags in children (13 causes), Auricular septal defect (29 causes), Autoimmune inner ear disease ...
ENG can help determine if dizziness is due to inner ear disease by measuring involuntary eye movements while your balance is stimulated in different ways.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Certain autoimmune inner ear diseases, such as Sjögren's syndrome and Cogan's disease, may lead to progressive damage to the inner ear and accompanying hearing loss. Depending on the source of vertigo, temporary (transient) blindness could result.
It commonly occurs in association with inner ear disease or sensorineural damage to the ear. It may also accompany the effects of general systemic diseases and has been recognised as a feature in cardiovascular disease, hypothyroidism and anaemia.

It can be brought by many causes including, systemic illnesses, such as influenza, medications, pain, and inner ear disease.
Vertigo is most commonly caused by a condition known as benign positional vertigo, labyrinthitis (inflammation of the inner ear), Meniere’s disease (inner ear disease that affects balance and hearing), migraines, ...
It can be induced through a variety of causes, including illness, drugs, pain, or inner ear disease (1, 2).
