Vestibular & Hearing Disorders

Conditions We Diagnose & Treat

From common BPPV to complex bilateral conditions — our specialist team has the expertise and technology to accurately diagnose and effectively treat all vestibular and hearing disorders.

🌀

BPPV

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo — the most common cause of vertigo. Brief spinning sensations triggered by specific head movements, caused by displaced crystals in the inner ear.

🦠

Vestibular Neuritis

Inflammation of the vestibular nerve, typically following a viral infection, causing sudden severe vertigo, nausea, and imbalance that can last days to weeks.

Ménière's Disease

A disorder of the inner ear causing episodes of vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. Caused by abnormal fluid build-up.

Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness — chronic dizziness and unsteadiness persisting for months, often triggered by anxiety, movement, or busy visual environments.

⚖️

Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction

Reduced function in both inner ears causing chronic unsteadiness, oscillopsia (bouncing vision), and difficulty walking in the dark. Often requires long-term rehabilitation.

Tinnitus & Hearing Loss

Ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds in the ears (tinnitus) often alongside progressive hearing loss. Audiological evaluation guides appropriate management and hearing aid therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common cause of vertigo?+

BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) is the most common cause — accounting for about 50% of all vertigo cases. It occurs when calcium crystals in the inner ear become displaced. The good news is that BPPV is highly treatable with specific repositioning manoeuvres, often resolving in just 1–3 visits.

How long does vestibular rehabilitation take?+

The duration varies depending on the condition and severity. Many patients see significant improvement within 6–12 weeks of consistent rehabilitation. Our VR-based programme accelerates recovery for many patients. Our team will give you a personalised timeline after your initial evaluation.

Is vertigo dangerous?+

Most causes of vertigo are not dangerous, but they can be extremely disabling. However, vertigo accompanied by double vision, severe headache, numbness, weakness, difficulty speaking, or loss of consciousness may indicate a more serious condition and requires immediate medical attention. At Verticare, we use comprehensive diagnostics to distinguish benign from serious causes.

Can hearing loss be treated with hearing aids alone?+

For most types of sensorineural hearing loss, hearing aids are the primary management tool. Our audiological evaluation precisely maps your hearing loss pattern, and we then select and programme a hearing aid matched specifically to your audiogram. Some cases may require medical or surgical management — we will refer appropriately if needed.

Do I need a doctor's referral to visit Verticare?+

No referral is required. You can contact us directly to book an appointment. However, if you have a referral letter from your doctor or previous test results, please bring these as they can be helpful. We welcome direct bookings via phone, WhatsApp, or email.
