Labyrinthitis: Dear SStewart, The symptoms that you are describing are typical of viral Labyrinthitis. There are other causes as well and so the first thing that to be done is you should see your local ear specialist or neurologist. A CAT scan or MRI should also be done and medications for dizziness such as meclizine. Prednisone and an antiviral such as Acyclovir are usually given. Hearing comes back usually

I have been told i need surgery as my ear canals are closing. Is this necessary? I went deaf in my left ear. My gp sent me to a e.N.T specialist and then he sent me to an ear specialist. They all suggested I have surgery as my ear canals are so minute.
