Underlying Causes

Dizziness is a common reason for outpatient neurology consultation. Oftentimes, a complete workup by general practitioner, including MRI brain fails to reveal a cause. Some patients would have also undergone an ENT evaluation before approaching neurology for an answer. Such scenarios provide a challenge as well as opportunity for the neurologist to exercise their knowledge and clinical skills in arriving at a diagnosis. Conditions like ‘Unspecified Vestibular Dysfunction’ and ‘Presbyvertigo’ are often the underlying causes, which are either not recognized or misdiagnosed as BPPV, psychogenic or perceptive dizziness. This article’s goal is to help understand vestibular system and diagnose vestibular dysfunction in clinical practice.

Frequency Harmonic

The application of low-frequency harmonic acceleration (HA) with the rotary chair is becoming more widespread in the clinical evaluation of the vestibular system. In the last 2 years, 18 patients with surgically or radiologically confirmed intracanalicular or cerebellopontine angle tumors have been evaluated with this clinical modality. In all cases (100%)—which included seven small tumors—vestibular evaluation with HA was abnormal. Slow harmonic acceleration, as is the case with other methods of vestibular evaluation, is not specific for acoustic tumors. Its great sensitivity in detecting peripheral vestibular abnormalities, however, may make it a useful addition to the test battery in the evaluation of patients with suspected intracanalicular or cerebellopontine angle tumors.

Purpose The primary aim of the current article is to provide a brief review of the literature regarding the effects of noise exposure on the vestibular and balance control systems. Although the deleterious effects of noise on the auditory system are widely known and continue to be an active area of research, much less is known regarding the effects of noise on the peripheral vestibular system. Audiologists with working knowledge of how both systems interact and overlap are better prepared to provide comprehensive care to more patients as assessment of both the auditory and vestibular systems has been in the audiologists' scope of practice since 1992. Method A narrative review summarizes salient findings from the archival literature. Results Temporary and permanent effects on vestibular system function have been documented in multiple studies. Hearing conservation, vestibular impairment, and fall risk reduction may be more intimately related than previously considered. Conclusions A full appreciation of both the vestibular and auditory systems is necessary to address the growing and aging noise-exposed population. More cross-system studies are needed to further define the complex relationship between the auditory and vestibular systems to improve comprehensive patient care.
