ABSTRACT:
A device for the treatment of vertigo or dizziness comprises a fluid-filled tube containing a communicating means such as a bead that passes through the tube. The tube is attached to the user's head so as to allow the user to see the entire tube and communicating means, and the tube is shaped so that the communicating means will only travel through the tube from end to end if the user performs a particle repositioning maneuver.
