AB Reduction  or  loss  of  vestibular  function  bilaterally  results  in  difficulty  maintaining  balance,  especially  when  walking  in  the  dark  or  on  uneven  surfaces,  and  in  a  decrease  in  the  patient's  ability  to  see  clearly  during  head  movements.  In  addition,  patients  with  bilateral  vestibular  hypofunction  or  loss  (BVH  or  BVL)  also  complain  of  intense  feelings  of  being  off-balance  and  of  strange  but  disturbing  sensations  in  their  heads  with  head  movement.  Because  of  these  problems,  patients  with  BVH  may  restrict  their  activities  and  can  become  socially  isolated.
