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 occurs if the sensitive hair cells inside the cochlea are damaged, or as a result of damage to the auditory nerve (which transmits sound to the brain). In some cases, both may be damaged. Hearing loss caused by age and exposure to loud noises are both types of sensorineural hearing loss.
