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

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 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
