(H94.0*) Acoustic neuritis in infectious and parasitic diseases classified elsewhere

Acoustic neuritis is an inflammation of the auditory nerve caused by a variety of infectious and parasitic diseases classified elsewhere. it can be caused by viral infections, bacterial infections, fungi, and parasites, and can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo.

Acoustic neuritis is an inflammation of the acoustic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting sound signals from the inner ear to the brain. in infectious and parasitic diseases, the inflammation is caused by the invasion of the nerve by microorganisms, which cause damage to the nerve and its associated structures. this damage can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance problems.
