Hi. I have not been diagnosed, but wonder if that is what i am suffering from. It came on fairly quickly, and i then found out that the medical center i work in, has had many cases of it recently. I have begun to wonder if it could be enviromentally related to something at the hospital? Do you know of any such thing happening?
I'm hoping it will pass soon, but i havent been to see my physician yet, due to my work schedule not allowing me to. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

You haven't described the actual symptoms you have experienced but you will find quite a bit of information regarding the symptoms, findings, treatment, and typical natural history of infectious labyrinthitis in the "review" section of the ENT clinic.
