• Canalith repositioning: The physical therapist/audiologist will perform simple exercises for your head movements. The purpose is to move the particles from the inner ear area of fluid-filled semicircular canals. These particles will not cause any trouble and quickly reabsorb. The doctor will guide you to perform their procedure on your own. You have to do these postures when the abnormal movements in your eyes start.
• Surgery: Some rare situations come when the Canalith repositioning does not work out on the patients. The bone plug is the part of the ear that causes dizziness. It prevents the semicircular canal from responding to the head movements or the particles. The doctor advises you to go for the canal plugging surgery, and there is a 90% success rate in the surgery. You can go for the surgery.
