DizzyFIX Vertigo Relief Trainer for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo or BPPV, Inner Ear Balance Device for Particle Repositioning Maneuver, Non-Drug Solution & Relieves Dizziness

This product is a life saver.It is NOT flimsy as others have stated. It is a well made product. Yes, it is light weight but it has to be to do the maneuver correctly. I dont feel the price is unreasonable because it really does work.I tried the Epley maneuver several times on my own and I was getting a little better. Then I found this device. It guided me through the maneuver and I found that I wasn't tilting my head correctly in part of the process. This device made me do it correctly. And it worked.....not immediately....when I sat up, I felt better but still a little dizzy. But as the day went on I got better and better. I feel back to normal now. They suggest that I continue to use it once a day for 3 days without symptoms. I will definitely do it. It takes about 3 minutes to save your life!I had vertigo for a week before I used this device so I'm feeling very thankful right now. I'm getting my life back. I'm a little scared...afraid it might return...but I feel better knowing I have this device to help me back to normal.

Product is complicated to use and must be used in conjunction with specific exercises, needless say, once in midst of a vertigo, it is impossible to do, at least in our case. Would suggest the product description ought to clearly state the effective usage must be with prescribed exercises.Also, did not appreciate the seller's return/refund policy requiring the customer pay for return shipping cost. I believe for a fairly expensive product whose usefulness is not predetermined until tried, it is audacious to expect the customer to pay for returning it when it did not work.

I have been suffering with dizziness for years. Several work ups including MRI's, VNT clinics--you name it. Finally found a doctor who said I have simple BPPV and should try the Epley maneuver. I knew about it and was searching for directions on the internet and found this device. Takes a lot of the timing and positioning of the head for the maneuver out of the equation. Easy to follow pellet in a visual tube gets the maneuver done in the proper time period and position. On the second attempt to use it, my vertigo went away. I will see if it comes back but after four days, it has not. If it does, it's easy to do it again in your own home. Well worth the money in my opinion.

I would first watch some YouTube videos on the "Epley Maneuver", because this little plastic gimmicky contraption is designed to mirror that which is said to help benefit certain types of Vertigo. Once you've familiarized yourself with the Epley Maneuver, then read the instruction booklet for this thing, then go ahead and try it. Watching the videos first helps you understand the nature of what the intention of this is and how it's connected to your inner ear. This is merely a plastic piece with a bead that runs from one side to another. It's attached to a hat you wear.Each day for the first week of using this, I was working on the right ear and my symptoms weren't improving much. There was a slight difference, but nothing major. It instructs one to wait a full week before using the other ear. It was when I used the left ear a week later the improvements to the six week long daily Vertigo I was experiencing started to lighten up. The next day of using this for the left ear the Vertigo symptoms actually finally went away. So apparently it must've been the left ear that the Vertigo was an issue for me. It was difficult for me to detect at first until I used this. One could have Vertigo in both ears, or the right or left.I continued to use this for days after but the Vertigo symptoms were gone so I stopped using it. A week and a half past and I was Vertigo symptom free, then the Vertigo started to creep back up again. It's like come-on. Guess I have to live with this. Picked up this contraption again and it helped ease the symptoms until it lightened and went away. It's been weeks now as of this review and I haven't had any Vertigo symptoms, so this did help greatly.The cons for this thing is that it's way overpriced. This thing works yes, but it shouldn't be more than $20 because the maneuvers can be done watching YouTube videos. The one plus this thing does that watching YouTube videos doesn't is that it helps you position your head properly so that the ball moves from one side to the other. They shouldn't charge so much for this though. There are people with Vertigo where this contraption is way too much money. But yes this hat thing definitely helped me greatly.

I have BPPV. It sucks. It comes back every couple of years. It seems to be a right side thing. The dizziness is almost always triggered by moving to my right side when sleeping. When I get up I'm wobbly like I'm having balance problems. That can last all day. I've found taking a nap for an hour sitting in a recliner seems to clear the balance issue up until the next dizzy episode.I just got the Dizzyfix. I did the Brandt-Daroff (Semont) maneuvers yesterday so I'm going to check my progress today. Sometimes I only have to do those once and things are better. After I do those, I have to sleep in a recliner for a couple of days, and that's a major pain.The DizzyFix is a Canadian product that went through FDA approval and was sold only by prescription in the US. Now it's over the counter. To get FDA approval the company had to show that the device was effective by doing clinical trails. If you want to read about those go to PubMed and type in DizzyFix. You'll get the abstracts of the papers done on the trials.Update: The DizzyFix works well. It makes the movements more precise than when I do them without any aid devices.
