Which of the following findings is NOT associated with labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis?

Labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis primarily affect the inner ear and the vestibular system, which are integral to balance and spatial orientation. The classic symptoms of these conditions include vertigo, which is the sensation of spinning, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and may also trigger nystagmus—a rapid, involuntary eye movement that occurs when the vestibular system is compromised.

Changes in head position can provoke symptoms in labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis, particularly because these conditions impact the mechanisms that detect movement and maintain balance. Patients often report worsening of vertigo when they move their heads or change positions, which is a characteristic sign of vestibular dysfunction.

In contrast, trigeminal nerve damage is related to sensory and motor pathways primarily involved with the face and does not typically present with signs or symptoms that are directly associated with labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis. The trigeminal nerve does not play a role in balance or the inner ear's function, therefore it wouldn’t be a finding associated with these conditions.
