Does the brain compensate for the loss of equilibrium?

You had an inflammation of the balance nerve more than two years ago, and dizziness is still your daily companion? Many sufferers are desperately wondering why the brain’s natural compensation seems to have failed and whether a normal life is even possible again.

This is how the nervous system adapts:

• Good prognosis: Scientific studies clearly show that around 70-80 percent of those affected are completely symptom-free again after two to three months.
• One organ is quite sufficient: just as we can easily live with a single kidney, our brain also requires a single functioning organ of balance to get through life stably.
• The clever network: Our brain uses three sources of information for balance: both inner ears, the eyes, and the joint sensors. If one side fails, the remaining healthy side reliably takes over the guidance of vision and depth perception.
• Why Chronic dizziness remains: In young, otherwise healthy people, this balance is achieved excellently. Persistent symptoms usually occur when the other systems are also compromised, or when the brain remains in a constant state of alert and self-observation.
