Dizziness, Balance & Tinnitus
Overview
Dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems are common complaints in clinical practice. These symptoms can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life and overall safety. Over 90 million Americans, age 17 years and older, have experienced a dizziness or balance problem. Twenty million Americans visit the emergency room each year for fall-related injuries, with balance-related falls accounting for more than half of the accidental deaths in the elderly. According to the National Institute of Health, 90% of all causes of dizziness can be identified by a thorough evaluation.
