A cracked tongue may indicate an oral yeast infection, or oral thrush. Oral thrush is caused by the accumulation of the candida fungus in the lining of your mouth. In addition to cracks, symptoms of oral thrush include pain, loss of taste and lesions on the tongue and other areas in the mouth. A weak immune system, diabetes, cancer and vaginal yeast infections are all causes of oral thrush, according to MayoClinic.com.
Fortunately, vestibular neuritis usually subsides in time and usually does not recur. When the inflammation affects the auditory portion of the nerve, it causes hearing loss in addition to dizziness and is called labyrinthitis. Certain medications can help in the initial phases to decrease the severe symptoms. However, long-term use of medications can actually impede full recovery.
Sensorineural hearing loss results from missing or damaged sensory cells (hair cells) in the cochlea and is usually permanent. Also known as ânerve deafnessâ, sensorineural hearing loss can be mild, moderate, severe or profound. Mild to severe sensorineural hearing loss can often be helped with hearing aids or a middle ear implant.
