lol googled it

Labyrinthitis is an inner ear infection that causes a delicate structure deep inside your ear (the labyrinth) to become inflamed.
The labyrinth is a maze of fluid-filled channels that control hearing and balance. There is one inside each ear in the bone at the base of your skull.
When your labyrinth becomes inflamed, the information it sends to your brain will be different from that sent from your unaffected ear and your eyes. This difference can make you feel dizzy or that you are moving when you are still (vertigo).
If the hearing part of the labyrinth is inflamed, your hearing can be affected. See the Symptoms section, above, for more information.
Labyrinthitis is usually caused by a viral infection or, less commonly, a bacterial infection (see Causes, above). It can affect one or both ears.

Claire, poor thing especially if they are making him feel dizzy etc? Is he going to be on any meds afterwards?

I saw an ENT specialist 8 years ago about dizzy spells, hearing problems etc and he advised me that a low salt diet would help the sympto,s. And I've got to say he's right!

It might be worth making just small changes to his diet? I rarely have fries from fast food chains due to the vast amounts of salt they put on them.

He#s best not to cut it out of his diet all together as oru bodies do need some salt.

LMC - that is really interesting as to what you say the ENT specialist said. My MIL's hearing has got a LOT worse recently and she has been suffering dizzy spells as well. Because of low blood pressure, she adds salt to Everything! Mind you, I don't know whether she would believe me if I told her to lower her salt intake.
