A team to help with planning, medical translation and follow-up.

About the Procedure

What is Vertigo Assessment & Treatment?

Vertigo Assessment & Treatment involves a structured evaluation of balance and inner-ear function to identify the cause of dizziness or spinning sensations, followed by targeted therapy such as repositioning maneuvers, vestibular rehabilitation, or medical/surgical management for underlying conditions like BPPV or Meniere's disease. It is recommended for patients with recurrent dizziness, imbalance, or hearing-related vertigo affecting daily function. Early diagnosis helps rule out serious neurological causes and guides the most effective, least invasive treatment path.

Who may be considered?

Vertigo Assessment & Treatment may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.

How does it work?

A full battery of vestibular and hearing tests performed by an ENT/neuro-otologist to pinpoint the exact cause of vertigo before deciding on treatment.

3 approaches available for this procedure:

Comprehensive Vestibular Diagnostic Workup

Most Popular

A full battery of vestibular and hearing tests performed by an ENT/neuro-otologist to pinpoint the exact cause of vertigo before deciding on treatment.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: $200 - $600

Pure tone audiometry, Videonystagmography (VNG), Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP), MRI brain/internal auditory canal, blood pressure and ECG, CBC and blood sugar

Treatment / Procedure Estimate

Estimated cost in India: $300 - $900

Stay in India

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 day
Hospitalisation: 0 days (outpatient)
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~1-2 days
Total stay: approx 2-3 days

Usually Included in Hospital Package

  • ENT and neuro-otology consultation
  • Full vestibular function testing
  • Audiometric evaluation
  • Detailed diagnostic report and treatment plan

Usually Not Included

  • MRI/CT scan charges
  • Neurology or cardiology consultations if required
  • Medications
  • Airport transfers and accommodation

Recovery and follow-up

Most patients experience symptom improvement within a few days to two weeks after repositioning maneuvers or rehabilitation therapy, while surgical cases require a longer recovery with gradual return to normal activity over 2-3 weeks.

Risks

Diagnostic testing carries minimal risk, while repositioning maneuvers may cause temporary nausea; surgical interventions carry risks such as hearing loss, balance disturbance, or infection.

Alternatives

Alternatives include conservative medical management with anti-vertigo medications, lifestyle and dietary modifications for Meniere's disease, or physical therapy-based vestibular exercises before considering invasive procedures.

What we need to prepare a formal estimate

Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.

Reports required

  • Recent MRI brain/inner ear scan (if done)
  • Audiometry and VNG reports (if available)
  • ECG and blood pressure records
  • List of current medications
  • History of dizziness episodes (frequency, duration, triggers)
  • Any prior ENT/neurology consultation notes
  • CBC and blood sugar reports

Patient information needed

  • Age and general medical history
  • Description of vertigo type (spinning, imbalance, lightheadedness)
  • Any hearing loss, tinnitus, or ear fullness
  • History of head injury or ear infections
  • Current medications and allergies
  • Any cardiac or neurological conditions
  • Frequency and triggers of episodes

Costs shown are indicative planning estimates based on typical pricing across leading Indian hospitals. They are not a quote — actual pricing depends on your case complexity, hospital choice, and length of stay. Share your reports for a personalized estimate.

Common questions

FAQs about Vertigo Assessment & Treatment in India

What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is the perception that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving when no such movement is actually occurring; it is a symptom rather than a diagnosis in itself, most often arising from disorders of the inner ear (peripheral vertigo) or, less commonly, from the brain or brainstem (central vertigo).
What are the symptoms and health risks of Vertigo?
Common features include a spinning or tilting sensation, nausea and vomiting, unsteady gait, abnormal eye movements (nystagmus), a feeling of ear fullness, and in some cases tinnitus or muffled hearing. Severe or persistent episodes can lead to falls, reduced mobility, and significant psychological distress. However, experiencing these symptoms is not sufficient to establish a diagnosis or identify a cause — a qualified clinician must evaluate each case individually.
How is Vertigo diagnosed?
Diagnosis begins with a careful history covering the onset, duration, and triggers of episodes, alongside any associated hearing changes, head trauma, or neurological symptoms. Physical examination typically includes positional manoeuvre tests such as the Dix-Hallpike and head impulse test, assessment of nystagmus, and a full neurological review to help distinguish peripheral from central causes. Depending on findings, further investigations may include audiometry, videonystagmography (VNG), vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs), or brain MRI — particularly where a central or vascular cause is suspected.
How is Vertigo treated?
Treatment is highly dependent on the underlying diagnosis and may range from a single corrective manoeuvre performed in clinic to longer-term medical management or, in a minority of cases, procedural intervention. For the most common cause — benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) — canalith repositioning manoeuvres such as the Epley procedure are frequently effective. Other causes, such as Ménière's disease, vestibular neuritis, or centrally mediated vertigo, require tailored approaches that a specialist will determine following full assessment.
Can Vertigo be treated without a procedure?
Non-procedural management is the mainstay of care for most people with vertigo and may include canalith repositioning manoeuvres, supervised vestibular rehabilitation therapy (a structured physiotherapy programme to retrain balance), dietary modifications and diuretics for Ménière's disease, antiviral or corticosteroid treatment for vestibular neuritis, and medications to reduce acute symptom burden such as vestibular suppressants or antiemetics. Surgical or interventional options — such as intratympanic injections, endolymphatic sac surgery, or vestibular nerve section — are generally reserved for cases that are refractory to conservative treatment; your clinician will advise whether any such option is appropriate for your specific situation.
When is Vertigo Assessment & Treatment considered for Vertigo?
Vertigo Assessment & Treatment may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Vertigo?
Vertigo is most commonly evaluated and managed by an otolaryngologist (ENT specialist) or a neuro-otologist for inner-ear causes, and by a neurologist where a central or cerebrovascular cause is suspected. A specialist in audiovestibular medicine or a physiotherapist with vestibular rehabilitation expertise may also form part of the care team.
How do I choose a doctor for Vertigo?
When selecting a clinician, it is worth looking for an ENT specialist or neuro-otologist with demonstrated experience in vestibular disorders, access to diagnostic facilities such as VNG or audiometry, and the ability to refer to neurology or rehabilitation services when needed. Continuity of follow-up matters, as some causes of vertigo require monitoring or treatment adjustment over time.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
