Patient Story Background

For nine years, 66-year-old Aunt Liu had been suffering from frequent episodes of dizziness, each characterized by a spinning sensation accompanied by tinnitus in her right ear, leaving her exhausted for hours. During this period, she visited multiple hospitals and was diagnosed with cervical spondylosis and insufficient blood supply to the brain. Although treatments following each diagnosis provided temporary relief, the dizziness would soon recur, never achieving a permanent cure, and she even experienced a noticeable decline in hearing in her right ear.


Since 2019, Aunt Liu's dizziness episodes have become more frequent and severe. After April of last year, the symptoms intensified further, occurring almost weekly, severely impacting her daily life.


Last November, while preparing lunch, Aunt Liu experienced a vertigo attack. Unable to stand steadily, she tried to support herself with her hands but accidentally knocked utensils off the kitchen counter, shattering them on the floor. Her persistent discomfort deeply worried her family. Following a friend's recommendation, they learned that ENT specialist Li Hui was consulting at HeYou Meihe Hospital. The entire family then sought professional help, hoping to finally find a solution.



"This dizziness problem is finally resolved"


Faced with a patient like Aunt Liu, who had long suffered from dizziness with multiple unsuccessful treatments, Li Hui, President of HeYou Meihe Hospital and Director of the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, understood that beyond identifying the cause, it was crucial to help the patient build confidence in the treatment. She patiently and meticulously inquired about Aunt Liu's medical history and, combined with comprehensive examinations, gradually pinpointed a diagnosis of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV, also known as canalithiasis). During the process, Director Li Hui also delved into Aunt Liu's psychological state and living conditions, shared successful treatment experiences, and encouraged her to face the issue positively. Learning that Aunt Liu was resistant to machine-assisted repositioning, Director Li Hui employed a独创 manual repositioning technique to administer the treatment.


After the repositioning, Director Li Hui also developed a one-week personalized medication regimen based on Aunt Liu's specific condition. Following the treatment, Aunt Liu's vertigo symptoms were completely resolved without recurrence.


Overjoyed with this outcome, Aunt Liu and her family felt a great sense of relief and repeatedly praised Director Li Hui's precise diagnosis and treatment: "The dizziness that plagued us for nine years has finally been resolved. Our whole family no longer has to live in fear!"
