About this listen

In this episode of Grounded: The Vestibular Podcast, we dive deep into bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH)—a rare but life-altering condition where both inner ear balance systems are impaired. We’ll break down: What BVH is and how it affects balance, vision, and movement Common causes, symptoms, and the unique ways it differs from unilateral vestibular loss How BVH is diagnosed through clinical tests and patient history Evidence-based treatments, including vestibular rehabilitation therapy and sensory substitution The concept of vestibular dependence and how patients can learn to rely more on vision and proprioception for stability Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting someone with BVH, or a clinician looking to understand more—this episode is packed with insights, tools, and hope.
