Why is vestibular rehabilitation important?

Once a diagnosis is established, vestibular rehabilitation helps retrain your brain to correctly process information from the balance, hearing, vision, and movement systems.

Rehabilitation aims to:

• Reduce dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance

• Improve stability and confidence

• Restore daily activities and functional independence

• Support long-term recovery and quality of life

Personalised vestibular rehabilitation at The Art of Hearing

Effective vestibular rehabilitation must be personalised. Although standard rehabilitation frameworks exist, no two people experience vestibular difficulties in the same way.

Our programmes are tailored to your diagnosis, symptoms, vestibular–hearing interactions, lifestyle, and goals. 

Rehabilitation may include:

• Gaze stabilisation exercises

• Balance and gait training

• Habituation exercises

• Home exercise programmes

• Use of apps

• Use of on loan high tech take-home equipment

• Falls-risk guidance and safe return-to-activity planning

Rehabilitation is delivered through face-to-face sessions, supported by structured home programmes to ensure continuity and progress.

At The Art of Hearing you may be offered a digital platform through which we can prescribe, monitor and progress evidence-based vestibular rehabilitation exercises. This is offered through a mobile phone application and a head sensor.

The exercise programme is prescribed through a smartphone app with instructional videos, reducing the chance of forgetting how to perform the exercises correctly. A Bluetooth head sensor is worn behind your ear to measure head movement during exercises. It provides you with immediate feedback on whether you are performing the movements at the correct speed and range, while giving the Audiologist objective performance data.

Though this digital platform we can monitor your:

• Exercise adherence and accuracy

• Progress over time

• Symptom scores

• Performance data

Personalised and holistic rehabilitation plans have the potential to improve your quality of life.
