Hello @chuckb
I found your post very interesting. I had not heard of this diagnosis before. So, I did a little research and found this information on a link from the Cleveland Clinic website, https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22452-vertebrobasilar-insufficiency-vbi
As this disorder is associated with hearing loss, you might also find it helpful to post this in the Hearing Loss Support group, where @julieo4 is the mentor. Here is a link to that group:

What type of specialist diagnosed this disorder? Do you have many troublesome symptoms that you deal with daily?

Neurologists and neurosurgeons. I have no symptoms at sll. However, serious events can result such as Locked-in Syndrome if clots develop. The torturosity and difference in size between vertebral arteries creates turbulence that can cause clots. The enlargement of the basilar arter can cause compression on the Pons. Most people are asymptomatic and never know they have it.
