AB When  sensorineural  hearing  loss  occurs  in  the  context  of  an  inflammatory  condition,  it  is  referred  to  most  appropriately  as  immune-mediated  inner  ear  disease  (IMIED).May  be  associated  with  disturbances  of  balance  as  well  as  hearing  loss  because  the  inner  ear  mediates  vestibular  function  as  well  as  hearing.May  occur  as  a  primary  inner  ear  problem  or  as  a  complication  of  a  recognized  inflammatory  condition  such  as  Cogan  syndrome,  granulomatosis  with  polyangiitis  (formerly  Wegener  granulomatosis),  giant  cell  arteritis,  Sjögren  syndrome,  and  others.Symptoms  include  tinnitus,  vertigo,  nausea,  and  difficulties  with  two  issues  related  to  hearing:  acuity  and  speech  discrimination.
