The treatment for BPPV is the Epley manuever to get the crystals to move back to the membrane. While the Epley maneuver is a very quick

These canals are responsible for detecting head movements and helping maintain balance. When otoconia become displaced, they can stimulate the sensitive hair cells within the canals, sending incorrect signals to the brain about head movement, leading to feelings
