Ear infections are of three types: outer (otitis externa), middle (otitis media), and inner ear infection. Inner ear infections are most commonly caused by viruses and less commonly by bacteria. The inner ear consists of the cochlea, vestibular nerve, semicircular canals, and auditory nerve. And hence severe or untreated infection can sometimes lead to partial or total hearing loss permanently. But immediate treatment will cure the infection without any damage to the hearing. Symptoms include vertigo, imbalance, a fullness of the ears, nausea, tinnitus, earache, hearing problem, etc.
