Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) occurs when tiny particles called otoconia become dislodged from the balance organ of the inner ear (the vestibular system) and enter the semicircular canals. Otoconia are small crystals made of calcium carbonate, sometimes described as "ear stones." The main symptom is a spinning sensation that occurs with changes in head position. If you experience dizziness, please consult an ENT specialist.2026-06-26

Dizziness
#dizziness, #vertigo, #balance disorder, #cerebral infarction, #orthostatic hypotension, #headache, #splitting headache, #migraine, #pain at the back of the head, #lightheadedness, #spinning sensation, #unsteadiness, #vision going dark, #collapse, #loss of consciousness, #fainting, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body, #anxious feeling, #nervousness, #worrying for no reason
Dizziness is a general term for a feeling that the surroundings are spinning or that it is hard to keep your balance. It may be caused by something simple, such as anemia or an ear problem, but it can also be a sign of a dangerous brain condition. Because the exact cause must be found and treated, please be sure to consult a medical specialist for an examination.2026-06-26

Hearing Loss

Hearing loss refers to a condition in which hearing is reduced and it is hard to hear sounds properly. It has many causes, including aging, noise, and otitis media. According to data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, the number of patients with hearing loss has been steadily increasing. If you feel your hearing is declining, please do not put it down to age; consult an otolaryngology (ENT) specialist to have the exact cause diagnosed.2026-06-26

Hearing Loss and Bone Conduction Hearing Aid Implantation

Hearing loss is not just a symptom of difficulty hearing sounds; it affects overall quality of life, including withdrawal from relationships, depression, and cognitive decline. In recent years, bone conduction hearing aid implantation, which delivers sound through the bone, has been used for patients who have difficulty using conventional hearing aids. If your hearing declines, please do not leave it untreated by blaming 'age'; consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Iron deficiency anemia is a condition in which a lack of iron in the body leads to a shortage of red blood cells. Common symptoms include pallor, fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath during exercise. It occurs especially frequently in women of childbearing age. If anemia persists for a long time, it can place strain on the heart, so identifying the cause and receiving appropriate treatment is important. If you suspect these symptoms, please consult a hematology-oncology specialist.2026-06-26

Meniere's Disease

Meniere's disease is a condition in which excess endolymph builds up in the inner ear, raising the pressure and causing repeated episodes of dizziness, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. The inner ear is the innermost part of the ear and consists of the cochlea, which is responsible for hearing, and the vestibular organ, which is responsible for balance. If left untreated, hearing and vestibular function may worsen permanently. Please consult an otolaryngology (ENT) specialist.2026-06-26

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Noise-induced hearing loss is a condition in which hearing is damaged by loud, sustained sound exposure. It once occurred mainly in industrial workplaces, but it is now increasing among teenagers and young adults as the use of personal audio devices such as earphones grows. There is currently no treatment that restores hearing once it has been damaged, so prevention is most important. If your hearing declines or you develop tinnitus, please consult an ENT specialist.2026-06-26

Vestibular neuritis is a condition in which inflammation of the vestibular nerve, located in the inner ear, causes severe spinning vertigo. If severe dizziness and vomiting continue for several days without relief, please visit a hospital for evaluation and medication from a medical specialist.2026-06-26
