Posterior Canal BPPV: Are medications effective?

Short answer is - medications are not effective in treating posterior canal BPPV.
Management of vertigo should focus on treating the cause, not just the symptoms—symptomatic medications may provide temporary relief but do not correct BPPV.

Dizziness and vertigo can be frightening and overwhelming. Sudden spinning sensations, imbalance, and fear of falling often lead to anxiety and avoidance of everyday activities, affecting confidence and quality of life.

The good news is that dizziness and vertigo are often treatable—when properly assessed. A formal vestibular assessment looks in detail at how the inner ear, eyes, and brain work together to maintain balance. This helps in identifying the cause of symptoms, rather than relying on guesswork.

At The Audiology Clinic, formal vestibular assessments allow us to:
• Identify the specific type and cause of dizziness or vertigo
• Differentiate between inner ear, neurological, or other balance-related conditions
• Create a targeted management plan, rather than relying on assumptions
• Guide appropriate vestibular rehabilitation or further medical referral

Accurate assessment leads to effective management. With the right diagnosis, many patients experience significant improvement—physically and emotionally. Confidence returns, fear reduces, and normal life gradually becomes possible again.

If dizziness or vertigo is affecting your balance, confidence, or quality of life – your first step should to contact your GP followed by and if required, a formal vestibular assessment toward clarity and recovery.

Because feeling steady again changes everything.

Vertigo is not a disease by itself; it is a sign of another problem. To treat it properly, doctors need to find and treat the real cause, not just the feeling of dizziness. A detailed balance and inner ear check (through vestibular assessment) is important to find out what is causing vertigo and to choose the right treatment.

How Meditation and Yoga Can Support Life with Tinnitus

Meditation helps calm the mind and reduce stress, which often worsens tinnitus. By focusing attention on the breath or body sensations, people can learn to detach from the noise, easing the emotional impact and improving sleep and focus.

Yoga, through mindful movement and controlled breathing, releases muscle tension (especially around the neck and jaw), improves circulation, and enhances overall resilience to stress — all of which can ease tinnitus symptoms.

Together, meditation and yoga don’t cure tinnitus — but they can transform the way you live with it.

However, If you’ve tried a wide range of tinnitus management strategies—such as sound therapy, yoga, meditation, or CBT—but your tinnitus is still bothersome, our clinic is here to help. You are welcome to contact us to schedule a Tinnitus Assessment with a ‘Doctor of Audiology’.

Role of Vestibular Assessment in Diagnosis & Treatment of Dizziness/Vertigo

Vestibular dysfunction is one of the most underdiagnosed causes of dizziness, imbalance, and falls — yet it significantly impacts patients’ safety, mobility, and quality of life.
A comprehensive vestibular assessment provides invaluable diagnostic insight by identifying whether symptoms stem from peripheral (inner ear) or central (neurological) causes. This distinction is essential for formulating effective management.
Key benefits of vestibular assessment:
• Differentiates between peripheral and central vestibular disorders
• Enables evidence-based referral and targeted intervention
• Informs vestibular rehabilitation protocols for individualised care
• Enhances interdisciplinary collaboration between ENT, neurology and other healthcare professionals
Early identification of vestibular dysfunction allows clinicians to streamline diagnosis, reduce unnecessary investigations, and improve patient outcomes through timely and precise treatment planning.
At our clinic, we carry out formal vestibular assessment to ensures we don’t overlook a system that plays a central role in balance and spatial orientation.
