Ear Crystals: Current Approaches to Diagnosis and Treatment

Ear Crystals: Current Approaches to Diagnosis and Treatment

Health
Inner ear crystals, or otoconia as they are scientifically known, are a structure that provides balance in the vestibular system. The functions of these crystals are related to sensing head position and movement, balancing the body, and maintaining stable vision. However, sometimes these crystals may move or the intra-ear fluid balance may be disrupted. This can lead to various balance problems. In this article, we will examine current approaches used in the diagnosis and treatment of ear crystals. Diagnosis of Ear Crystals Diagnosis of these crystals is made through a series of clinical and laboratory tests. The main diagnostic methods are: In-Ear Video (Video-Otoscopy): It is used to look at the location of ear crystals and diagnose possible problems. Dix-Hallpike Test: Thi...
Ear Crystals and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Ear Crystals and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Health
Dizziness is a common health problem experienced by many people around the world. Dizziness is a condition in which a person loses environmental balance and perceives objects around them to rotate or move. Ear crystals and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) are a common cause of dizziness. This article will provide detailed information about the diagnosis, causes and effective treatment options of ear crystals and BPPV. Ear Crystals (Autogenic Calcium Carbonate Debris) Ear crystals, or autogenic calcium carbonate debris, are found in the inner ear. They are small calcium carbonate crystals formed in the otolith organ, which is a part of the structures that control balance. These crystals should normally remain in place. However, sometimes situations may occur where these cr...

What are Ear Crystals?

Health
The human body is a complex system. Many different organs and structures work together to control our balance, hearing, vision and other senses. The ear is a vital organ, especially in terms of hearing and balance functions. Regarding hearing, the structure called cochlea in the inner ear processes sound signals and transmits them to the brain. But what we will focus on in this article are the otolithic organs, known as ear crystals, that regulate balance. What are Ear Crystals? Ear crystals are scientifically called otolithic organs or otoconial crystals. These crystals are located in two small sacs called utriculus and sacculus located in the inner ear. These vesicles undertake the task of maintaining balance and help perceive body position. These crystals are actually calcium ...
