Autoimmune inner ear disease occurs when the immune system misidentifies cells in the inner ear as viruses and destroys them. As the immune system kills the inner ear cells, patients commonly experience hearing loss in one ear. It will eventually spread to the opposite ear and cause permanent harm if left untreated.
An AIED is very rare and is diagnosed only once all other causes have been ruled out. When the inner ear is the only organ involved, AIED is called "primary." However, AIED is classified as "secondary" in 15 to 30 percent of cases when it occurs as part of a larger autoimmune disorder that affects the entire body.
