Understanding BPPV

Professional BPPV Treatment

What is BPPV?

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a common inner ear issue that can make you feel intensely dizzy – like the world is spinning around you. It happens when tiny calcium crystals, called otoconia, get loose and move into the inner ear’s semicircular canals. This disrupts how fluid normally flows in these canals, sending confusing signals to your brain about how your head and body are moving. If this happens to you, you may need BPPV treatment.

Symptoms of BPPV include:

  • Sudden and severe dizziness
  • Feeling like you or your surroundings are spinning or moving
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Unsteadiness and balance problems
  • Involuntary eye movements (nystagmus)

While BPPV won’t harm your life, it can seriously affect your day-to-day activities and well-being. If any of these symptoms sound familiar, consider our effective BPPV treatment today.

What causes BPPV?

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) occurs when small calcium crystals dislodge from the utricle and migrate into the semicircular canals of the inner ear, disrupting its natural balance. If you’re struggling with BPPV symptoms, seeking BPPV treatment is paramount for relief.

  • Head Injury
    Trauma to the head can knock these crystals loose, triggering BPPV.
  • Inner Ear Disorders
    Conditions such as Meniere’s disease and labyrinthitis can heighten the risk of BPPV.
  • Ageing
    As we age, the otoconia can deteriorate or become loose, making them more prone to dislodgement.
  • Prolonged Bed Rest
    Extended periods of lying down during recovery from surgery or illness can lead to displacement of the otoconia.
  • Migraine
    While the exact link isn’t fully understood, migraines are often associated with BPPV.
  • Idiopathic
    In many cases, BPPV occurs without an obvious cause, complicating diagnosis and treatment.

Understanding what causes BPPV is crucial for effective management. If you’re experiencing symptoms of BPPV, it’s vital to seek professional BPPV treatment to address underlying causes and alleviate symptoms effectively contact Hear Hear Ltd today!

BPPV Treatment with Hear Hear Ltd

Treating BPPV involves specialised manoeuvres aimed at repositioning displaced otoconia back into the utricle’s proper location within the inner ear’s semicircular canals. At Hear Hear Ltd, we excel in delivering effective treatment for BPPV, using advanced techniques to achieve optimal outcomes.

  • Comprehensive Assessment
    Our skilled audiologists conduct a thorough assessment to confirm the diagnosis of BPPV. This includes a detailed medical history review, comprehensive physical examination, and specific tests to pinpoint the affected ear and canal. This initial evaluation is crucial in tailoring your BPPV treatment to your specific needs.
  • Epley Manoeuvre
    The Epley manoeuvre is the primary and most successful BPPV treatment. It entails a series of precise head and body movements designed to guide dislodged otoconia out of the semicircular canals. Our team is highly proficient in administering this manoeuvre, ensuring precise and effective treatment for our patients.
  • Brandt-Daroff Exercises
    For some individuals, we may recommend Brandt-Daroff exercises as part of their BPPV treatment. These exercises are performed at home and aid in gradually dislodging the crystals over time. Our team provides comprehensive guidance on technique and consistency to maximise the effectiveness of this treatment approach.
  • Follow-Up Care
    Following your BPPV treatment, we offer ongoing follow-up care to monitor your progress and address any recurring symptoms. Our commitment is to ensure sustained relief, allowing you to regain stability and confidence in your daily activities.

At Hear Hear Ltd, our dedication to excellence in BPPV treatments ensures that you receive the highest standard of care. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and take the first step towards managing BPPV effectively.
