Abstract:
Scientific progress in the diagnosis and treatment of dizziness syndromes has led to a paradigm shift in diagnostic approaches, establishment of a unified international vocabulary, and standardized criteria. Objective methods, including vestibular evoked myogenic potentials and the video head impulse test, are now widely used in otorhinolaryngologic assessments. According to these advancements, new evaluation criteria based on objective measures have been developed. These provide greater clarity in the legal context compared to previous evaluations which were based primarily on subjective standards, thus making the assessments more plausible and comprehensible. It is now possible to definitively substantiate a defined health disorder or functional impairment in the field of otorhinolaryngology with full evidence based on objective criteria.
