Support for their proposal comes from an experimental vestibular paradigm combining whole-body rotation and mental arithmetic (Yardley, Masson, Verschuur, Haacke, & Luxon, 1992). High state anxious individuals exhibited a significantly increased slow phase nystagmus component of the VOR (Yardley et al, 1992), indicative of risk for dizziness.…”

High state anxious individuals exhibited a significantly increased slow phase nystagmus component of the VOR (Yardley et al, 1992), indicative of risk for dizziness. Essentially, patients with emotional dysregulation combined with a failure to regulate the kinesthetic and visual inputs in vection display showed diminished performance on a cognitive task relative to controls (further studies are discussed in the section on anxiety and vestibular integration).…”

“…Yet whether the relation between anxiety and vestibular dysfunction is associative, causal, interrelated, or simply false positive findings is still a matter of debate (Jacob et al, 1996). Vestibular disorders, such as vestibular neuritis, can lead to increased anxiety complaints (Eagger, Luxon, Davies, Coelho, & Ron, 1992;Pollak, Klein, Rafael, Kossych, & Rabey, 2003;Yardley et al, 1992). Likewise, anxiety can create vestibular dysfunctional symptoms when the aural apparati are intact (Sklare, Stein, Pikus, & Uhde, 1990;Staab, 2006).…”

Throughout history, vestibular and emotional dysregulation have often manifested together in clinical settings, with little consideration that they may have a common basis. Regarding vestibular mechanisms, the role of brainstem and cerebellar structures has been emphasized in the neurological literature, whereas emotion processing in the cerebral hemispheres has been the focus in psychology. A conceptual model is proposed that links research in the 2 disparate fields by means of a functional cerebral systems framework. The claim is that frontal regions exert regulatory control over posterior systems for sensation and autonomic functions in a dense, interconnected network. Impairment at levels within the system is expected to influence vestibular and cognitive processes depending on the extent of frontal regulatory capacity. M. Kinsbourne's (1980) shared cerebral space model specifies the conditions under which dysfunction of the vestibular modality will influence higher cognitive levels. A position on laterality and associative relations within the right hemisphere is proposed to explain links among dizziness, nausea, and negative emotion.

“…The ringing or buzzing occurs in addition to the hearing loss and further interferes with the ability to hear o r understand what is heard (Agnew, 1986;Hallberg & Erlandsson, 1993). Vertigo is a disturbance in balance (Yardley, Luxon, & Haacke, 1994;Yardley, Verschuur, Masson, Luxon, & Haacke, 1992). The degree to which tinnitus and vertigo are experienced as an accompaniment to presbycusis ranges from mild to severe.…”

“…Balance disorder clinics can assist individuals with assessment and vestibular rehabilitation (Shumway-Cook, n.d). Counselors might also apply techniques that have been found to reduce the sensations of imbalance and dizziness such as relaxation, reassurance, and autogenic feedback (Yardley et al, 1992;Yardley et al, 1994).…”

BACKGROUND: People with vestibular disorders experience symptoms which put them at risk of reduced wellbeing during the Covid-19 pandemic. OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on vestibular symptoms, access to healthcare and daily activities amongst people living with a vestibular disorder. METHODS: An online survey was completed by 124 people in the UK with a vestibular disorder. The survey incorporated the Vertigo Symptom Scale-Short Form and questions regarding health status, healthcare received, daily activities and employment during Covid-19. RESULTS: The Covid-19 pandemic affected perceptions of wellbeing. 54.1% rated their health as worse now than before the pandemic. Vertigo, unsteadiness, dizziness, tinnitus, loss of concentration/memory, and headaches were the most exacerbated symptoms. Respondents reported changes to their daily activities including reduced social contact (83%) and exercise (54.3%). Some experienced healthcare delays or received a remote appointment. Remote care was perceived as convenient, but barriers included difficulty communicating, trouble concentrating and perceived unsuitability for initial appointments. Unintended benefits of the pandemic included less social pressure, avoiding busy environments, and engaging in self-care. CONCLUSION: The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic are diverse. Clinical services should be mindful that Covid-19 can exacerbate vestibular and allied neuropsychiatric symptoms that require acute, multi-disciplinary intervention, but not lose sight of the potential benefit and cost saving associated with promoting self-management and delivering remote care, especially post-diagnosis.
