Worth the price for me
Worked well for me. Watching the how-to-use video first was helpful. Doing the Epley Maneuver at home in the past was a little anxiety-inducing, because of the possibility I might not be doing it quite correctly. I probably tended to make it a little more daunting than it really is. This device helped alleviate that anxiety. BPPV creates enough anxiety on its own. Anything that reduces the additional anxiety is a plus, in my opinion. Good luck!

Broke my second time using it
I used this once and it worked okay. I got vertigo a few months later and pulled out to use a second time and it broke! Cheaply made and not worth the money. Vertigo is so real and I have struggled to find a fix but this is not worth the money. Such a shame.

IT WORKS!
This product is a life saver.It is NOT flimsy as others have stated. It is a well made product. Yes, it is light weight but it has to be to do the maneuver correctly. I dont feel the price is unreasonable because it really does work.I tried the Epley maneuver several times on my own and I was getting a little better. Then I found this device. It guided me through the maneuver and I found that I wasn't tilting my head correctly in part of the process. This device made me do it correctly. And it worked.....not immediately....when I sat up, I felt better but still a little dizzy. But as the day went on I got better and better. I feel back to normal now. They suggest that I continue to use it once a day for 3 days without symptoms. I will definitely do it. It takes about 3 minutes to save your life!I had vertigo for a week before I used this device so I'm feeling very thankful right now. I'm getting my life back. I'm a little scared...afraid it might return...but I feel better knowing I have this device to help me back to normal.

How tool works and why it's not necessary
When these terrible symptoms hit me I quickly learned about Posterior BPPV and the Epley maneuver that is designed to solve it but had no success in performing it. Figured this meant that I either did not have Posterior BPPV or that I was performing the Epley incorrectly. It appears in youtube to be very clear and simple but I thought that perhaps there was a tighter tolerance for error then one might think and that perhaps I was not holding the head angles precisely enough.So enter this tool, which is based on the Epley. I asked several enthusiastic reviewers if and how this tool made an accurate Epley dance more certain. If the Dizzy Fix revealed any possible errors that could occur without using it. Though these reviewers were all recent and therefore likely still tuned in, I got nothing but silence, causing me to doubt them. Always depressing.Looking at the picture now. You have a tube coming out from the hat that bends down to meet a twisted U shaped tube. Only the latter liquid filled U tube is involved and there are 5 relevant points on it. Two ends colored blue and yellow, two bent areas halfway along colored red, and the middle where the empty tube from hat joins. A floating colored ball.One needs a bed, table, or stout object on floor because it is crucial to have your head hanging not only back but down so head is not in same plane as body.I recommend "Peter Johns" on YT for 2 vids, one on posterior and one on horizontal BPPV.The ball is moved to and started at the end that is your bad side.At first 45 degree head angle on bad side the ball goes from end to red zone roughly. At 45 degree Angle #2 on other side the ball moves to middle juncture. Lastly, on your side with head pointed at floor moves ball to second red zone, then you sit up and it travels to opposite end from where you started.Here it is. The Dizzy Fix is not going to help you be more exacting. Whether you hold your head at 35 or 45 or 65 degrees the ball comes to rest at roughly the same point around the red zone. I.e, I couldn't tell the difference. Heck, if you turned head a full 90 it is still the same. And at end when you strive to turn face toward floor while on your side the balls position is same regardless of how much you twist. If very precise angles within 5 degrees are critical (but I don't think they are) you're out of luck, or better to say, dependent on luck.So Dizzy Fix is absolutely no help imo. The Epley maneuver is clear and simple to perform with as much visual instruction out there as one could ever need. All you can do and the best you can do is follow the video exactly and if no results after several repeats try the horizontal canal BPPV movements, then maybe Epley again if still a problem because grains may have newly moved into the posterior canal.As luck would have it, or not, by the time I got this my symptoms were gone. In just one week, and I had it bad, falling over and such. Maybe cause I immediately quit coffee and started drinking distilled water but who knows? Possibly. Everyone's different. Scared straight.My research has led me to conclude that it is erroneous to say as many do that, though you solve this, once you have this it will definately keep coming back. There seems to be no evidence to support that assertion and some indication that under the right conditions the loose particles will be dissolved by the body, and you won't shake loose new ones. Heal yourself.Of minor import, it could be made a lot better for 140 bucks. #1--it doesn't clamp tight to the hat. I used my own hat and it held fine. Or they could spring for a little Velcro? Looseness obviously defeats the whole purpose. You can hold with your hand.#2- the cinching mechanism on cord is cheap and doesn't hold well so hat tilts. Once again, either improve it or use a better hat that is adjustable, fits deeper, and will form a snug fit on a variety of head sizes. You know, the way they used to make ball caps 20 years ago.Let me know if this article assists you.

Worth it!
Great product! Won’t lie really glad I purchased it. I performed the epley maneuver a dozen times without this product and there was no vertigo relief. At first I thought the dizzyfix was marketing fluff but after I followed the products instructions, I only had to use this twice and my vertigo was gone. Two 30 minute sessions and I was feeling great. Seriously the vertigo I had made me miserable for 3 months straight. The dizzyfix is worth it!

Concept is good but...expensive and flawed.
I understand what the idea is for this but if you are lying down and moving your head back and forth, this hat will not stay in place. It’s impossible to keep your eye on that little ball when the whole contraption is moving all over the place. Maybe attaching it to something that you can tie tight around your head would be more effective. I thought it was really pricey for something I won’t use again.

Very helpful for Vertigo
Ten percent of elderly have BPPV ( vertigo) It comes on suddenly and has no cure. The room spins, and I need to sit down or fall. It is debilitating with nausea and upchucking, It is caused by loose particles (oticles) in the inner ear. You can take seasick meds but it too has its problems especially when you take cardio meds as I do.My Dr. taught me the Epley moves by laying down and employing various head moves ( gogle it for more information) The Dizzy Fix is a simple plastic device to clip to a base ball hat. It guides you though the Epley moves and help put the loose particles back where they belong and not where they interfere with your balance. I still get some BPPV but the severity and frequency is much less. A lot depends on the severity of your condition. On a scale of 1-10 in severity, I was having 8 and 9 episodes. Using the Dizzy Fix , I have occasional 3s and 4s. I now use it as a preventive exercise and my BPPV occurs about once a month at a lesser level. You can do the Epley moves without the Dizzy Fix. I find that it help me to do it right and gets results,It is a pricey at $ 140, but I decided that haveing BPPV is worth the invest ment.

Sleeping on my left side again!
I have had Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo for about twelve years during which time I have been unable to sleep on my left side. I had an acute episode before the snow storm Christmas Eve and had family in town. I was too dizzy to trust myself to drive. It was a full blown vertigo. I sent for the Dizzy Fix which replicates the Epley maneuver. It arrived quickly. After a single use, I was dramatically improved. I repeated the exercise daily for a few days. Even that ' just stepped off a boat' feeling was gone. I sent an email to the group in Calgary to inquire about its use. They responded immediately and were helpful. I really am quite surprised at the immediate relief. I appreciate not having to schedule an appointment somewhere and can do this maneuver at home should I have - as I undoubtedly will have - further episodes. I showed this to my doctor and physical therapist when I went for an unrelated injury in early February. They were duly impressed. The Epley maneuver isn't new, of course, but the device is new to me and I am glad to have the convenience of being able to do this by myself at home. The DVD, hat and quick reference card were helpful.

A Helpful Tool
My brother-in-law recommended this aid. He always travels with one because he gets vertigo often after a flight. I found it helpful for my husband to read the instructions as I performed the various moves. My vertigo did disappear after a few sessions. However, I’d had vertigo for a couple of weeks so it may have gone away by itself. However, I am pleased to own this DizzyFix and will try it promptly next time. My only complaint is that the hat was too small for me as I have a larger than normal head.

Perfect for BPPV people
Fantastic! Thanks to our ENT for recommending. Much cheaper and manageable that surgery or injections.

Confusing, but it worked first time 🙂
This is an odd contraption, indeed. I found it surprisingly effective and this after only one (slightly baffled) attempt.I got out of bed with a full-blown Ménière's attack and decided to give the DizzyFix a try. Previously I’ve used the NHS method of sitting on the side of your bed and twisting and lying down etc, but I do find I need to have more than one go, and it’s hard to keep referring to the online video while doing it.Because of this, I thought the DizzyFix would be the same, but despite thinking I’d not got it right and would need at least a second try, it worked! It’s a bit complicated and I was glad I have decent muscles to hold the positions (while clutching the instructions), but well worth the work! I expect it’ll be easier once I get used to it, too.
