Vertigo and dizziness care in Delhi

Fairfield Hearing Clinics checks the inner ear and balance system of people with vertigo (a spinning feeling), dizziness or unsteadiness, at our New Friends Colony and Hari Nagar clinics in Delhi. Our audiologists check whether the problem comes from the inner ear, help with common positional vertigo (BPPV), guide balance exercises, and refer you to an ENT doctor when you need medical treatment.

When is dizziness an emergency?

Dizziness is an emergency if it comes on suddenly together with weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg, slurred speech, double vision, a severe headache, chest pain or fainting. These can be signs of a stroke or a heart problem — go to the nearest hospital emergency department straight away. Do not wait for a clinic appointment.

What causes vertigo?

Vertigo is most often caused by a problem in the inner ear, which holds the balance organs as well as the hearing organ. Common inner-ear causes are:

  • BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) — short spins of vertigo when you lie down, turn in bed or look up. Tiny crystals in the inner ear have moved to the wrong place. It is the most common cause of vertigo.
  • Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis — inflammation of the balance nerve or inner ear, often after a viral illness, with strong dizziness for days.
  • Ménière’s disease — attacks of vertigo with hearing loss, ringing (tinnitus) and a full feeling in one ear.
  • Vestibular migraine — dizziness linked to migraine, sometimes without a headache.

Dizziness can also come from blood pressure, blood sugar, medicines, the heart or the brain. That is why we work closely with ENT doctors and your physician.

What happens at a vertigo and balance assessment?

A vertigo and balance assessment at Fairfield takes your history, checks your hearing and tests how your eyes and balance respond to position changes.

1

Your story

When the dizziness started, how long each spell lasts and what sets it off — this alone often points to the cause.

2

Hearing test

Because hearing and balance share the inner ear, a hearing test helps tell inner-ear causes apart.

Positional and balance tests

Simple, safe position tests (such as the Dix–Hallpike test) and balance checks show whether you have BPPV or another inner-ear problem.

Treatment at the clinic, exercises for home, or referral to an ENT doctor — explained clearly.

How is vertigo treated at Fairfield?

Vertigo caused by BPPV is usually treated with repositioning manoeuvres — gentle, guided head movements (such as the Epley manoeuvre) that move the inner-ear crystals back into place. Many people feel better after one to three sessions.

For dizziness and unsteadiness that continues after an inner-ear problem, we teach balance (vestibular) rehabilitation exercises that help the brain adjust, and review your progress.

When tests suggest a condition that needs medicines or further investigation, we refer you to an ENT doctor. Fairfield works with Dr. Nayeem Ahmad Siddiqui, Senior ENT Surgeon.
