How to prepare
- Detailed medical history and symptom diary review with the ENT specialist.
- Comprehensive audiological evaluation (hearing test) to assess hearing loss.
- Vestibular tests like Videonystagmography (VNG) or VEMP to evaluate balance function.
- Imaging studies (MRI) may be ordered to rule out other neurological causes.
- For surgical candidates: pre-operative blood tests, ECG, and anesthesia consultation.
- Initiation of a strict low-sodium diet and lifestyle adjustments prior to any procedure.
Risks & possible complications
- For Medications: Side effects like drowsiness, nausea, or allergic reactions.
- For Intratympanic Injections: Temporary pain, eardrum perforation, infection, or worsening of hearing.
- For Surgical Procedures (e.g., Endolymphatic Sac Decompression): Risks of anesthesia, infection, bleeding, persistent hearing loss, tinnitus, facial nerve injury, or cerebrospinal fluid leak.
- For Vestibular Nerve Section or Labyrinthectomy: Permanent hearing loss in the operated ear (with labyrinthectomy), balance compensation issues, and general surgical risks.
- Incomplete control of vertigo symptoms may occur with any treatment.
Recovery & hospital stay

- Vestibular rehabilitation therapy may be recommended to help the brain compensate for balance changes.

I was a total wreck before...
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Muthusamy just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my jumbled-up worries, did a quick check, and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. Walked out feeling silly for being so nervous, but mostly just relieved.
