Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo Treatment

Assessment

BPPV is a disorder of the inner where tiny little crystals in the cochlear semi-circular canals get dislodged, and it is typically triggered by changes in positions of the head or changes in positions of the body. While BPPV can be quite bothersome and even debilitating to some, the good news is that it is rarely serious and can typically be diagnosed and treated in the clinic with a few head or body repositioning maneuvers.

Treatment

At AudioSense, our audiologist has been trained to diagnose BPPV with an assessment called the Dix-Hallpike test, and to treat it with procedures called the Epley, Semont, Gufoni or Brandt-Daroff Manoeuvres. We can often correct the condition in 1-3 treatments, but we do recommend that you have someone accompany you to the appointment to make sure that you can get back home safely, in case you feel dizzy right after the appointment.
