It depends on how severe your symptoms are. Many people with a vestibular problem can still do these things, with adjustments. Driving is often fine if your vision is stable. Biking or certain sports may need to be adapted. Go slowly and always put safety first.
Always ask your doctor for personalised advice.

This is one of the hardest parts of having a vestibular condition, it is invisible. You might look fine, but inside you are constantly managing imbalance, dizziness, or fatigue. That mismatch can feel frustrating or isolating.

Here is what can help:

• Acknowledge your experience – your symptoms are real, even if others can not see them.

• Educate close friends or family – a little understanding goes a long way.

• Pace yourself – listen to your body, take breaks, and avoid overstimulation.

• Connect with others – you are not alone; find a community that understands.

With vestibular issues, fall prevention is key. Here are a few practical tips:

• Move slowly – sudden movements can throw off your balance.
• Use support when needed – a cane or walking stick can increase stability.
• Avoid dark or cluttered spaces – make sure your environment is well-lit and obstacle-free.
• Do balance exercises – vestibular rehab or guided movement can improve your stability over time.
• Wear proper footwear – avoid slippery soles or loose shoes.

Always ask your doctor or physiotherapist for advice tailored to your situation.

A vestibular issue is usually diagnosed by an ENT (ear, nose, and throat specialist) or a neurologist, often with help from a vestibular physiotherapist. Testing may include:

• Balance test
• Eye movement exam
• Head movement test
• Hearing test
• Sometimes an MRI to rule out other causes

Diagnosis can take time, as symptoms often overlap with other conditions.
Always consult your doctor for a full evaluation and next steps.

Yes, absolutely. While vestibular problems can not always be cured, many people improve with the right support. Common options include:

• Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) – special exercises to retrain your brain and improve balance

• Balance and eye movement exercises – often guided by a vestibular physiotherapist

• Lifestyle adjustments – managing stress, pacing activities, and reducing visual triggers

• In some cases, medication – for dizziness or nausea (short-term use)

Improvement takes time and consistency, but many people regain confidence and function.

Always work with your doctor or a vestibular therapist to find the right plan for you.

Not necessarily. The BalanceBelt is a support tool, not a cure. It can be very helpful in situations where you feel most unstable, like walking outside, in crowds, or on uneven ground. Additionally, wearing it can boost your confidence, which in turn improves your balance. There may also be times when your body doesn’t require feedback from the belt, like when sitting, and during those moments, you can (temporarily) switch the belt off.

Use it:

• When you feel unsafe or anxious about falling
• In unfamiliar or visually overwhelming environments
• As part of your rehabilitation process

Always follow your doctor or physiotherapist’s advice on when and how to use it.

That is one of the hardest parts of living with an invisible condition like a vestibular disorder. You may look fine on the outside, but feel exhausted, dizzy, or unstable inside.

Here is what can help:

• Trust your own experience – your symptoms are real, even if others can not see them.

• Educate gently – explain that your balance system is affected, even though it is invisible.

• Choose who to share with – not everyone will understand, and that is okay.

• Find support – connect with others who do get it, online or through support groups.

You are not imagining it and you are not alone!
Always speak to your doctor if it is affecting your mental health.

Not yet. You may be able to discuss it with your doctor or physiotherapist to see if there are alternative support options or funding possibilities.

Yes, absolutely. Living with a vestibular disorder is exhausting. Your brain is constantly working overtime to keep you balanced, often using your eyes and muscles to compensate for what your inner ear can not do. That extra effort leads to mental and physical fatigue, especially after walking, concentrating, or being in busy environments.

You are not lazy, and you are not imagining it.
Always talk to your doctor if the fatigue feels overwhelming or persistent.

Not every solution works for everyone, and that is okay. If the BalanceBelt does not help you feel more stable or confident, you can simply stop using it.

We always recommend:

• Giving it a fair try in different situations (indoors, outdoors, busy places)

• Using it consistently for a few days to notice the effects

• Consulting your doctor or therapist during the trial
