Vertigo caused by inflammation of the inner ear (labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis) will last for days until the inflammation subsides. Attacks of vertigo due to Meniere's disease can last from 20 minutes to 24 hours. Vertigo is not usually common with acoustic neuroma (tumor), although it is more commonly associated with smaller tumors in the early stages. As the tumor grows, vertigo lessens or disappears.
I also get the ear issue. It is like a plugged ear feeling, but no matter what I do it will not unplug. It lasted 5 months last year. I was supposed to go to an ENT but of course the sx's stopped before my appt so I have not gone yet. I do know that ears are very related to vertigo issues.
