• Headaches
• Ear Infections
  Ear infections occur when fluid fills the space between the eardrum and the inner ear. This happens when the Eustachian tube becomes blocked due to a virus or bacterium, which prevents mucus and pus from draining out of the middle ear. These fluids put pressure on the eardrum, causing pain and discomfort.

Neurologists

• Autism
• Multiple Sclerosis
  Central vertigo occurs when there is a problem in the brain, usually affecting the brainstem or the cerebellum. These parts of the brain are responsible for interactions between the visual and balance systems; any disturbance can lead to vertigo. The most common cause of central vertigo is a migraine headache. Other less common conditions that can trigger central vertigo include stroke, tumors, acoustic neuroma, multiple sclerosis, alcohol and certain drugs.

Psychiatrists

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Thyroid
  Causes of dizziness include low blood pressure, anemia, dehydration, heat-related disorders, endocrine system disorders (e.g., diabetes, thyroid disease), heart conditions, high blood pressure, viral and bacterial infections, head trauma, hyperventilation, neurological disorders and certain medications.

Radiologist

• MRI
  Your otolaryngologist will typically diagnose an acoustic neuroma by reviewing your symptoms in conjunction with a hearing test and imaging scans (CT or MRI). Because tumor growth is usually slow, your doctor may simply monitor the tumor’s progress over time, especially when few symptoms are present. Regular imaging tests every six to 12 months can track any growth.
• Computed Tomography
  Symptoms of cholesteatoma include drainage from the ear, a feeling of fullness, hearing loss, earache and dizziness. Since these symptoms are also present in other conditions, tests such as audiograms and CT scans can rule out other conditions and confirm the diagnosis. Cholesteatomas continue to grow if not treated and can lead to complications such as...
• Chemotherapy
  Options may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy or a combination of treatments. Due to the sensitive location, minimally invasive surgical procedures are preferred when possible.
• Radiation Therapy

Surgeons

• General Surgery
• Ear Surgery
  There isn’t always an apparent cause when these calcium deposits break loose; however, it is commonly the result of a head injury, inner ear infection, damage from ear surgery or prolonged back position associated with bed rest. Migraines might also play a role. Older patients are susceptible to degeneration of the otolithic membrane related to normal aging.
• Neurosurgery
  When medications don’t work, you may benefit from vestibular rehabilitation exercises to improve balance. Hearing aids will help treat hearing loss associated with Ménière’s. Individuals who cannot find relief from other treatments may have success with surgery. Effective procedures include an operation to drain fluid from the inner ear, nerve surgery to eliminate dizziness, preserve hearing and a labyrinthectomy to control dizziness.

Dermatologists

• Cyst

Physical Therapists

• Physical Therapy
  Treatment varies depending on the type and severity of vertigo. Some forms disappear without treatment. The most common type, BPPV, responds well to head maneuvers, while other types are successfully treated with medication. When the condition persists, physical therapy can help.
• Occupational Therapy
  Options include medications (antihistamines, sedatives, antibiotics, steroids), physical or occupational therapy, surgery, repositioning exercises, vestibular retraining programs and lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes and elimination of alcohol and nicotine.
