Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Measurement of the hypoactive VOR with serial video oculography.<br><br>This will be assessed on the basis of measurement of the gain of eye velocity/head velocity at 40 and 80 ms after the onset of head rotation. Interruption of the VOR by catch up saccades will also be noted when these occur during the head impulse test (covert saccades) as well as those occurring after the head impulse test has been completed (overt saccades). The primary aspect of the serial study will be to observe how quickly patients utilise the two different forms of catchup saccades to improve their function.[Within 24hrs of presentation of the labyrinthitis and serially at 48-72 hours, 7 days, 14 days and 90 days. .]
