Balance & Dizziness (Vestibular) Care

Expert Evaluation and Relief for Vertigo, Imbalance & Meniere’s Disease Across Houston

Balance & Dizziness Care

A sudden sense of spinning, persistent dizziness, or feeling unsteady on your feet isn’t just unsettling—it can interfere with daily life and increase your risk of falls and injury. At the ENT clinic of Dr. Denis K. Hoasjoe, MD, we specialize in evaluating and treating vestibular (inner ear) disorders that affect balance and coordination. Based in Baytown, we serve patients from across the Greater Houston Area, including Pasadena, Pearland, Deer Park, La Porte, Channelview, League City, Friendswood, Humble, Kingwood, Spring, Cypress, Katy, Sugar Land, Conroe, Missouri City, and The Woodlands.

If you're suffering from vertigo, chronic dizziness, or unexplained imbalance, you are not alone—and most importantly, you don’t have to live with it. Dr. Hoasjoe offers comprehensive vestibular diagnostics, canalith repositioning procedures, and individualized treatment plans to restore balance and improve your quality of life.

Understanding Vestibular Disorders

The vestibular system is a complex part of the inner ear that helps control balance, spatial orientation, and coordination. When this system is disrupted, patients may experience symptoms like:

  • Vertigo (a spinning sensation)

  • Light-headedness

  • Unsteadiness or imbalance

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Sensitivity to head movements

  • Difficulty focusing or concentrating

These symptoms can stem from a variety of causes, including benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere’s disease, labyrinthitis, vestibular neuritis, or even traumatic brain injuries. Because the symptoms overlap with other neurological and cardiovascular conditions, proper diagnosis is critical. Dr. Hoasjoe offers thorough, ENT-led vestibular assessments at our Baytown clinic, making it easier for residents of Houston, Conroe, Spring, and nearby cities to get expert answers without delay.

Vertigo Diagnosis & Canalith Repositioning

One of the most common—and treatable—causes of vertigo is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). BPPV occurs when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear, called canaliths, become dislodged and interfere with normal vestibular signals. This often leads to brief but intense dizziness with head movement, especially when lying down, turning in bed, or looking upward.

At our clinic, Dr. Hoasjoe performs accurate vestibular evaluations, including Dix-Hallpike and other diagnostic maneuvers, to confirm BPPV. Once diagnosed, we use canalith repositioning procedures, such as the Epley maneuver, to gently guide the crystals back into place. This in-office procedure is safe, quick, and frequently provides immediate relief from vertigo. Many patients from League City, Pearland, and Clear Lake report major improvements after just one visit.

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)

For patients dealing with more complex vestibular issues—such as vestibular neuritis, bilateral vestibular loss, or lingering dizziness following illness—vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) can be life-changing. VRT is a customized program of balance training, eye movement exercises, and coordination drills designed to retrain the brain and reduce dizziness.

Dr. Hoasjoe collaborates with experienced vestibular therapists to create individualized rehabilitation plans, often combining in-clinic support with home exercises. Patients from The Woodlands, Humble, and Katy appreciate our holistic approach to managing chronic dizziness, especially when other clinics fail to offer a long-term solution.

These therapy programs are tailored based on your diagnosis, lifestyle, and tolerance. Whether you’re an active senior experiencing imbalance or a working professional recovering from a viral inner ear infection, VRT can dramatically improve stability and confidence.

Meniere’s Disease Management

Meniere’s disease is a chronic inner ear disorder that can cause vertigo attacks, hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and a feeling of fullness in the affected ear. Episodes can be spontaneous, disabling, and extremely distressing.

At Dr. Hoasjoe’s Baytown ENT clinic, we provide comprehensive management for Meniere’s disease, combining:

  • Hearing and balance assessments

  • Medication to reduce fluid buildup (diuretics)

  • Low-sodium diet and lifestyle adjustments

  • Injections or surgical procedures for severe or unresponsive cases

With our integrative ENT and audiology expertise, we can offer both medical and hearing solutions in one place. Our patients from Sugar Land, Pasadena, and Missouri City trust us to deliver thoughtful, long-term support for a condition that often feels unpredictable.

Common Conditions We Treat

We diagnose and treat a wide range of vestibular disorders, including:

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

  • Labyrinthitis and Vestibular Neuritis

  • Meniere’s Disease

  • Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)

  • Age-related imbalance

  • Motion sensitivity

  • Post-concussion dizziness

These disorders can occur alone or alongside conditions like migraines, ear infections, or even anxiety. That’s why Dr. Hoasjoe offers holistic ENT-led evaluation and treatment for each patient—especially important for those in Baytown, Channelview, La Porte, and other Houston suburbs who may have limited access to vestibular specialists.

Why Choose Dr. Hoasjoe for Vestibular Care?

As a board-certified otolaryngologist with decades of experience, Dr. Hoasjoe understands the complex relationship between the ear, brain, and balance system. Unlike general practitioners or standalone physical therapy clinics, we offer:

  • Advanced ENT diagnostics under one roof

  • On-site hearing testing to evaluate auditory and vestibular function together

  • Medical and surgical expertise if structural ear issues are involved

  • Compassionate, long-term support for chronic dizziness and balance disorders

Patients from Cypress, Conroe, and Bellaire often come to us after seeing multiple doctors with no answers. We take the time to listen to your full history, explore all potential causes, and walk you through each step of the treatment process.
