Turn your head left and right slowly, with your eyes open 10 times.  \u003C/p>\u003Cp>2. Turn your head left and right slowly, with your eyes closed 10 times.  \u003C/p>\u003Cp>3. Move your head up and down slowly, with your eyes open 10 times.  \u003C/p>\u003Cp>4. Move your head up and down slowly, with your eyes closed 10 times.  \u003C/p>\u003Cp>5. Move your eyes left and right, keeping your head still 10 times.  \u003C/p>\u003Cp>6. Move your eyes up and down, keeping your head still 10 times.  \u003C/p>\u003Cp>Why do these exercises help?  \u003C/p>\u003Cp>When you have a balance problem there can be a mismatch between the distance your head moves and the corresponding distance that your eyes move. When this happens, the brain can re-train itself. These exercises tell the brain how much your eyes move in one direction when your head moves in the other direction.  \u003C/p>\u003Cp>Over time as it gets easier for you to do these exercises , your level of dizziness should be reduced as your brain re-adjusts.  \u003C/p>\u003Cp>If you have any questions after your appointment, please phone 024 7696 6444 or email [audiology.correspondence@uhcw.nhs.uk](audiology.correspondence@uhcw.nhs.uk).  \u003C/p>\u003Cp>The Trust has access to interpreting and translation services.
