Proud of myself!
Just have to take a small moment to be proud...hubby has developed a problem this past year with his inner ear; it affects his balance and can flare into a full case of vertigo with no advance warning...

Vertigo can often be caused by "otoliths", literally rocks in our head! These tiny rocks, located in the semicircular canals of our inner ears help us with balance and propreoception (or 'where we are in space') The exercise noted above by another poster, can be helpful in repositioning those "rocks" to, in simple terms, relocate the otolith. Physical therapists and medical practitioners use this procedure to treat recurrent vertigo. Google "Epley Maneuver".
yes i went thru this several years ago
those "rocks" tiny crystals attached to ends of nerve hairs
when we move the fluid in the ear moves, the crystals pull on the nerves
when some of them detach, they float around bumping into the nerve hairs causing signals that say were are moving, in a direction we are not,
the eyes go nuts trying to keep up with the signals
the eply maneuver is great.
my uncle has a recurring problem with menears disease which is not so easily cured
