Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query. I have read it with diligence.

I presume your query is about Benign Postural Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Hence, I answer accordingly. If my presumption is wrong, please let me know so that I can correct during my reply.

Your current symptoms of hissing in the head are mostly related to this.

It is not XXXXXXX You can get rid of it by using the Anti- Vertigo medicines like Betahistine. Please continue doing the exercises as advised by your doctor.

Write back to me for further discussion on it.

Thanks!
