Although otolith organ testing is becoming more widely used in vestibular clinics throughout the world, the clinical significance of otolith organ dysfunction is unclear.

The findings of this study have important implications for developing effective clinical protocols for the diagnosis and management of individuals with dizziness related to otolith organ dysfunction.
