I've been advised of a treatment to help Labrynthitis but not sure what it is called?
Posted , 7 users are following.
A family member has suffered with chronic Labrynthitis since Christmas and still has severe hearing loss. I have been told that there is a treatment whereby you lay on a table that moves vertically/horizontally/all different ways that then tricks the brain/hearing and the hearing is restored but I'm not sure what it is called, if it is true and whether you can request this via a GP... Please could anyone advise or assist??

eply maneuver and others. I'm waiting to see an ENT but yes. Get a referral to a ENT and they could help you.

There are various tests that a balance clinic or consultant can do an epley that hangs the head off the back of the bed if you have BPPV there is a test were you lay down and the table is tilted and eye movement is watched but nothing that will do what you have mentioned.
There is VRT to help re train the brain so physio for the vestibular system this will help as will time.

I dont think these movements would restore hearing.
An normal gp should be able to do the manoeuvres, mine did when I had bppv.
Hearing loss should be investigated by a good ent Dr.
