General information for patients at Sachi Hospital, Maninagar, Ahmedabad. It is not a diagnosis or a promise of a particular result. Reviewed by the Sachi Hospital medical team · September 2026.
Why people come in
- A spinning sensation
- Unsteadiness with ear fullness or hearing change
- Brief spins when turning in bed
Possible causes
Inner-ear crystal problems, inflammation of the balance nerve, and Meniere-like ear disease are among the ear causes. Not every dizzy spell is an ear problem.
How this is assessed
The history of the spell matters as much as the examination: how it starts, how long it lasts, and whether hearing changes with it.
Treatment options
- Repositioning advice when loose crystals are the likely cause
- Medical treatment for inner-ear inflammation when that fits
- Referral if the features are not typical of an ear problem
Diagnosis and treatment depend on an individual consultation. A page cannot decide that you need a procedure.
When to seek urgent care
- Dizziness with weakness, slurred speech, double vision or a severe new headache
- Dizziness with chest pain or fainting
