All About Vertigo: Causes, Symptoms, And Treatment

3. Otosclerosis

Otosclerosis is another rare condition that can cause vertigo. It occurs when there is an abnormal bone growth inside the ear or when bone tissue in the middle ear is renewed abnormally. This abnormal growth may cause the bone to harden and get stuck in place. When this happens, the bone may be unable to vibrate, which means that sound can not travel properly from your middle ear to your inner ear. This can cause hearing loss, as well as other symptoms, including tinnitus, balance problems, and vertigo.
