Lightheaded, foggy, unsteady, or just off? Dizziness is one of the most common reasons people see a doctor, and it has many possible causes, several tied to the ear. Get same-day, ENT-focused care to find out what’s behind it, in person or by video.
Dizziness is a catch-all word for several different sensations: feeling lightheaded or faint, unsteady on your feet, foggy or detached, or like the room is spinning. Pinning down which one you feel is the first step, because each points toward different causes. Spinning (vertigo) usually comes from the inner ear. Lightheadedness often comes from blood pressure, dehydration, or medications. Unsteadiness can come from the inner ear, the nerves, vision, or muscle and joint problems. Because the ear plays such a central role in balance, an ENT evaluation is a logical place to start when dizziness keeps coming back.
Same-day appointments available. Most insurance accepted.
Dizziness has many possible sources, and a big part of getting better is figuring out which one is at work. Because the inner ear is central to balance, ENT-focused providers are well placed to evaluate dizziness, especially when it comes with ear symptoms or spinning.
During your visit, your ENT provider may ask detailed questions about what your dizziness feels like and what triggers it, watch your eye movements and balance, check your hearing, and review your medications and medical history to narrow down the cause.
Virtual ENT care works well for describing what your dizziness feels like, reviewing your history and medications, and deciding how urgently and where you should be seen.
An in-person visit may be needed to examine your eye movements and balance, check your hearing, or guide you through repositioning or rehabilitation movements.
