Pressure on the vestibular nerve: This usually occurs from a non-cancerous tumor, per MedlinePlus.

Medications: These include drugs toxic to the inner ear, such as certain antibiotics, cisplatin (a chemotherapy medicine used to treat some cancers), diuretics (which help you urinate), and salicylates (of which aspirin is most common), per MedlinePlus.Vestibular neuronitis typically resolves on its own within days, though some symptoms can linger longer. Vertigo can last longer than in other conditions, possibly for hours, per StatPearls. Neuronitis, also called neuritis, comes with vertigo, nausea, vomiting, and balance problems, per StatPearls. Vestibular neuronitis: This is the name for the inflammation of the vestibular nerve.There's no cure, but lifestyle changes (such as avoiding sudden movements) and some treatments can help with symptoms. Ménière disease is the second most common cause of peripheral vertigo-though it's at least 10 times less common than BPPV, per the 2016 handbook. Although the disease can happen due to head injury or ear infection, the exact causes are unclear. Other significant symptoms are hearing loss, pressure in the ear, and tinnitus (ringing in the ear). People with Ménière disease can experience severe vertigo episodes that can last minutes to hours. Ménière disease: This is an inner ear disorder that triggers problems with balance and hearing, per MedlinePlus.It can often be managed with a physical intervention by a healthcare provider called the Epley maneuver, per the 2016 handbook. BPPV is characterized by frequent vertigo episodes of a few minutes or less, and it can be triggered by 'typical changes of head position,' such as lying down or bending forward. About one in 50 people will develop BPPV at some point in their lifetime. Benign positional vertigo or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV): This is the most common cause of recurrent vertigo-vertigo that happens repeatedly.
