hi recently i got vertigo from overusing my earbuds/headphones and when this happened i took a 1 day break from them (i know thats a very short break but i really love using my earbuds) and after the 1 day i wasnt experiencing the vertigo anymore so i went back to using them again and the vertigo came back so now im wondering exactly how long should i wait to use my headphones/earbuds again to be completely in the clear from vertigo?

Not from headphone or ear bud use. I get it too and it’s because those little crystals in your ear get dislodged and float in the little liquid sack that controls your equilibrium. It… sucks…. I used to get it for maybe an hour and it would go away. The last bout lasted 3 days. I finally did the exercise of moving your head while laying down in order to get the crystal out of that sack and it worked correctly (usually it doesn’t). Has been a few months since the last bout but I’m suspecting it’ll happen again at a later date.
Vertigo usually is caused by dislodged calcite crystals within the semicircular canals (the tubes for your sense of balance) inside your inner ears. I suspect that you are listening to your earbuds or headphones at way too high volume levels which will eventually damage your hearing.
