Solving Vertigo
Vertigo is a form of dizziness that produces a sensation of movement where there is none. When experiencing vertigo, people may feel off-balance like they are spinning and the world around them is moving. Vertigo experiences, especially chronic ones, can be associated with a vestibular disorder in the inner ear.
Chronic vertigo patients can experience severe attacks that can last hours or even days. Vertigo has a large impact on millions of Americans’ daily lives and can prevent people from experiencing a normal life.
These patients may receive diagnoses including, but not limited to: vestibular migraine, Meniere’s disease, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or persistent postural perceptive dizziness.

Our Solution
The First Medical Wearable for Vertigo
Otolith’s device is a wearable medical device with FDA Breakthrough Designation. Utilizing our non-invasive Vestibular Resonance Therapy or nVRT technology — the Otolith device provides precision signals which may reduce the disorientation handicap in chronic vertigo individuals, allowing them to maintain tasks of daily living.
An estimated 11.6 million American adults have chronic vertigo related to vertigo from various vestibular disorders. Chronic vertigo develops from the inconsistencies in broader vestibular system and the rest of the neural inputs for a person’s usual orientation and/or balance. Symptoms from these chronic conditions can impact daily living through functional, emotional, and physical handicaps.
Chronic Vertigo
A Treatment for Multiple Conditions
Otolith Labs’ non-invasive technology is being developed for the acute treatment of vertigo episodes in chronic patient population. The headworn device applies localized nVRT stimulation to the vestibular system through precisely calibrated vibrations. It is primarily intended for use by chronic vertigo patients, for whom there are very limited treatments.
Chronic Vertigo is a symptom of conditions including:
- Vestibular Migraine (Migraine Associated Vertigo)
- Meniere’s Disease
- Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)
- Vestibular Neuritis
nVRT
Designed for Immediate Relief
Otolith Labs has pioneered nVRT technology. Our core technology uses a patented transducer to send consistent and noninformative stimuli to the vestibular system which may mitigate the sensation of vertigo or dizziness.
It has been recorded in clinical studies as reliable and durable. We look to make a De Novo submission to the FDA through our ongoing clinical studies.

"My Vertigo Immediately Improved with Otolith"
Ken Stout, a labyrinthitis patient and driving instructor for 35 years, has constant vertigo and could no longer drive or work. In the first month from onset, he spent six days in three hospitals even opting to endure steroid injections through the eardrum. Nothing seemed to help, until he tried the Otolith Technology which provided instant relief.
“It gave me hope for the first time in months.”
