Your medical history and an audiogram are of utmost importance when assessing vertigo.
Episodic Vertigo (vertigo happens once and awhile) which is associated with hearing loss - testing for Meniere's disease should be considered.
Persistent Vertigo associated with persistent hearing loss; Labrytnthitis (inflammation of the inner ear) should be considered.
Episodic Vertigo with NO associated hearing loss; Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPW) should be considered. BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo.
Persistent Vertigo with NO associated hearing loss; Vestibular Neurontis should be considered.
If you have suffered with Vertigo - Which definition above most accurately describes your experience?
