What type of specialists treat BPPV?

Your primary care doctor may recommend that you see an audiologist for your benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. An audiologist specializes in treating disorders such as BPPV that can cause balance and/or hearing loss. Your doctor may also recommend a physical therapist to perform canalith maneuver procedures for your symptoms. Canalith maneuvers are head positions that your physical therapist or doctor can use to remove particles from within the inner ear that are causing your vertigo symptoms. You may also need to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctor if your vertigo is causing hearing loss. ENT doctors specialize in treating disorders and diseases of the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck. ENTs are also known as otolaryngologists.
