Vestibulopathy Explained

Vestibulopathies are disorders of the inner ear. They may include bilateral vestibulopathy,^[1] central vestibulopathy,^[2] post traumatic vestibulopathy,^[3] peripheral vestibulopathy,^[4] recurrent vestibulopathy,^[5] visual vestibulopathy,^[6] and neurotoxic vestibulopathy,^[7] among others.

Tinnitus is a common vestibulopathy. Migraines have often been associated with vestibulopathies. Ménière's disease, which is strongly associated to vestibulopathy, is considered to be "a challenging and relentless disorder."^[8]
