Vertigo Treatment

Vertigo is a sensation of spinning or imbalance, often caused by problems in the inner ear or vestibular system. It can be a distressing condition, leading to dizziness, nausea, unsteadiness, and difficulties in daily functioning. At HHB Speech and Hearing Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating vertigo through a patient-centered, evidence-based approach. The first step involves a comprehensive evaluation that includes a detailed medical history, vestibular assessment, balance tests, and audiological evaluations to identify the underlying cause. Common causes of vertigo include Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, Ménière’s disease, and labyrinthitis. Depending on the diagnosis, our expert team provides targeted treatment plans. For BPPV, we perform specific repositioning maneuvers such as the Epley maneuver, which effectively relocates dislodged inner ear crystals causing vertigo. In cases of vestibular dysfunction, we offer vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), a set of customized exercises designed to improve balance and reduce dizziness symptoms. Medications may be prescribed in some cases to manage symptoms or treat underlying infections. We also provide dietary and lifestyle counseling, especially for conditions like Ménière’s disease, where salt and caffeine management can play a crucial role. HHB’s experienced audiologists and vestibular therapists ensure patients receive the most effective care in a supportive environment. Regular follow-ups and progress monitoring are key components of our treatment plans. At HHB Speech and Hearing Clinic, our goal is to restore balance, reduce discomfort, and help patients regain confidence in their mobility and daily activities.
