Vertigo - has anyone resolved the sudden onset of vertigo

I still have a huge problem hearing my sister and I live with her. If she talks to me a try too. Watch herr lips which help some but I do not know how ow to lip read. I also have bad eyes. Anyway she will not repeat. And walk away. I’m it’s very. Frusrrrating. She will not let me. Use Ava most of the time time. I am njot Z sure if you I b an gget a cocclearr implant. Aaron ideas on commuuication?

Check this out: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common inner ear disorder that causes brief episodes of dizziness or vertigo when the head is moved in certain positions. This spinning sensation is typically triggered by changes in head position, such as lying down, sitting up, or looking up.
Crystals within the inner ear can become dislodged and cause this issue

It can be treated by the Epley Manuever if BPPV is the actual issue:

I hope this helps! Good Luck!!

I had terrible vertigo which was interfering with my daily life activities. I have Ménière's disease. I had a surgery on both of my ears called an Endo lymphatic sack surgery that resolved my vertigo almost completely. It was not an easy surgery but it wasn't the worst surgery either. My ENT performed the surgery, although he's the head of the department at Stanford. I don't know if you're ENT perform surgery, but if not, they can refer you to someone who does. Yes I still get dizzy sometimes, but not very often. I have my life back.

@laughlin1947 I know this was written a few years back, but you described exactly what I’m going through now, for months! Did you ever figure out what it was or get it resolved?

@ashleycole66 My vertigo finally went away completely. And I can't say that any vitamin supplement helped to "cure" it, but I know when I was going thru the worst of it, the meclizine motion sickness tablets helped quite a bit. I never tried diphenhydramine/Dramamine because f the potential drowsiness factor, and did not try the ginkgo biloba option either. I never formally tried the Eppley maneuver either, although I tried lying on the bed and hanging my head over the side, to no avail . I still remember waking up the first day when it hit, and I woke up to not being able to stand up, had no idea what was going on, had to slide down the steps on my behind, and it didn't even after a few hours. I went to 2 ENT doctors who had no advice for me either. They were uninterested, just bums. These days, it seems if doctors don't get to operate on a patient, they will spend 5 minutes with the patient and most times turn around and ell them they can't help. That's sad. I still believe strongly in the meclizine option, it's over the counter and lasts 24 hours or so.

@suesue22 Did you ever resolve getting your hearing to improve?

@laughlin1947 ... Very often sudden onset of vertigo is diagnosed as Benign Positional Vertigo, meaning that some calcium carbonate crystals in the inner ear get into the wrong position. PT can be a quick any straightforward place to get treatment. Many people (myself included) learn how to do the Epley movement (a standard treatment) themselves. I'd have a physical therapist do it for you the first time and then you can see if you can learn how to do it from one of the many very good youtube videos. Really!

Yes. A couple of short instances last week looking at the computer screen.

The Epley maneuver is an effective way to lessen or eliminate vertigo.

I wish the Eppley Maneuver had worked for me, but it gave me some worsening dizziness, and fortunately my vertigo went away on its own, although since I take a lot of supplements, I'm not sure what role those supplements may have played in settling the issue. I think Taurine led the way.

@laughlin1947 Eply may not be helping because there’s more to it then a quick crystal alignment? You may have a more vestibular neuritis involvement especially if there’s some accompanying random balance issues ; therefore, I’d check with your PCP or ENT for more testing? They may recommend going to some Physical Therapy? Or possibly ordering a VNG & rotating chair testing which I recently just had. If it is vestibular neuritis, you may have a viral infection going on? Your PCP or ENT can order an HSV 1/2 IgG lab test to rule that out?
