What is Positional Vertigo?
Positional vertigo is another cause of dizzy spells. The dizziness is provoked by movement. There are tiny "stones" that form in the inner ear causing this dizziness. The attacks are usually caused by movement in a certain specific way such as rolling over to the right side in bed. When balance exercises and medical treatment do not stop the dizzy spells, perfusion may stop the dizzy spells and usually does not make the hearing worse. Sudden hearing loss is a sudden nerve hearing loss that is commonly permanent. ...

In forms of vertigo, where the inner ear has suffered damage and the function of that ear is fixed, not changing over time, physical therapy can be quite helpful.
