Early symptoms of auditory nerve damage may involve hearing or balance problems as the auditory system communicates information concerning sound and body positioning to the brain. Symptoms include tinnitus, sensorineural hearing loss, dizziness, or vertigo with or without vomiting and nausea.owever, this is not usually the case.

Neural hearing loss due to auditory nerve damage is much less common than conductive hearing loss and is usually irreversible.
The permanently frozen ground in the northern latitudes is called permafrost. The layer closest to the surface that thaws during the summer is also part of the permafrost, but is called the active layer.
Officially, any structure movement is known as differential settlement. In addition to expansive soils, subsurface peat, which has a low bearing capacity and deteriorates over time, can also cause differential settlement. Other soil types such as sand and silt also have lower than required bearing capacities.
