Tiny ear crystals may explain balance troubles in older adults

A common cause of dizziness and falls in the elderly is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), caused by microscopic calcium crystals in the inner ear’s balance canals. These crystals can trigger spinning sensations and unsteadiness, but may also contribute to broader balance problems and fall risk even without classic vertigo. The Epley maneuver, a simple head-movement treatment, can dislodge the crystals and often cures the acute episodes, while awareness of subtle balance issues and practical measures can help overcome barriers to diagnosis and reduce fall risk in older adults.
