If you've ever felt the room spin the moment your head touched the pillow, or when turning over in bed, know that you are not alone. And no, this is not “normal aging.”

👉🏻 What is happening inside your ear?

Inside the inner ear are tiny calcium crystals, called otoliths, which help the brain detect movement and gravity.

When these crystals shift out of place and enter the semicircular inner ear’s canals, they send confusing signals to the brain every time the head changes position.

The result? An intense and sudden sppining sensation, usually lasting 10 to 30 seconds, triggered by lying down, turning over in bed, or looking up.

👉🏻 This condition has a name.

It is called BPPV: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, and it is the most common cause of vertigo in adults.

The good news: it is highly treatable, often with a repositioning maneuver performed in the doctor's office, without medication or surgery in most cases.

👉🏻 When to seek a specialist?

If vertigo is affecting your sleep, your safety when walking, or your quality of life, it deserves a proper evaluation.

Not all vertigo is BPPV. A careful clinical evaluation identifies the exact cause and the correct treatment, whether it is a repositioning maneuver, vestibular rehabilitation, or further investigation.

As an otologist, I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of hearing and balance disorders, helping patients in Abu Dhabi regain stability, confidence, and quality of life.

إذا شعرت يوماً بأن الغرفة تدور في اللحظة التي تلامس فيها رأسك الوسادة، أو عند التقلب في السرير، فاعلم أنك لست وحدك. ولا، هذا ليس ”شيخوخة طبيعية“.

👉🏻 ما الذي يحدث داخل أذنك؟

يوجد داخل الأذن الداخلية بلورات كالسيوم صغيرة، تسمى حصيات الأذن، تساعد الدماغ على اكتشاف الحركة والجاذبية.

عندما تنتقل هذه البلورات من مكانها وتدخل قنوات الأذن الداخلية نصف الدائرية، فإنها ترسل إشارات مربكة إلى الدماغ في كل مرة يتغير فيها وضع الرأس.

والنتيجة؟ إحساس شديد ومفاجئ بالدوران، يستمر عادة من 10 إلى 30 ثانية، ويحدث عند الاستلقاء أو التقلب في السرير أو النظر إلى الأعلى.

👉🏻 هذه الحالة لها اسم.

تسمى BPPV: الدوار الموضعي الانتيابي الحميد، وهي السبب الأكثر شيوعًا للدوار لدى البالغين.

الخبر السار: يمكن علاجها بسهولة، غالبًا عن طريق إجراء مناورة إعادة وضع في عيادة الطبيب، دون الحاجة إلى أدوية أو جراحة في معظم الحالات.

👉🏻 متى يجب استشارة أخصائي؟

إذا كان الدوار يؤثر على نومك أو سلامتك أثناء المشي أو جودة حياتك، فإنه يستحق تقييمًا مناسبًا.

ليس كل دوار هو BPPV. يحدد التقييم السريري الدقيق السبب الدقيق والعلاج الصحيح، سواء كان ذلك إجراءً لإعادة التموضع، أو إعادة تأهيل الجهاز الدهليزي، أو مزيد من الفحوصات.

بصفتي أخصائي أذن، أتخصص في تشخيص وعلاج اضطرابات السمع والتوازن، ومساعدة المرضى في أبوظبي على استعادة الاستقرار والثقة ونوعية الحياة.

Age Boldly ✨
Ageing brings more than wrinkles, it brings wisdom, confidence, and freedom.
It’s a chapter of life where clarity, laughter, and meaningful connection matter more than ever.
But did you know? As we age, subtle changes in hearing can make conversations and social moments feel more tiring and not because we’re distracted, but because our brains work harder to fill in missing sounds.
Regular hearing tests and auditory training can lighten that load, keeping your mind sharp, your confidence strong, and your connections vibrant.
At Parklands Audiology we celebrate healthy ageing by helping you stay present in every conversation, every memory, and every story that deserves to be heard.
💡 Age boldly, hear clearly, and live fully, because connection is what keeps us young at heart.

: Different parts of the cochlea respond to different pitches of sound. 👂

The 20,000 nerve cells of a cochlea are arranged like a piano keyboard. Lower pitches stimulate the nerve cells towards one end (the apex) of your cochlea while higher pitches stimulate the nerve cells towards the other end (the base).

With MED-EL's full-length electrode arrays, recipients are able to access a wide range of deeper sounds including soothing ocean waves🌊 and thunder rumbling⛈️.
