I am concerned about people think that cerebellar vestibular
dysfunction doesn't exist outside Dr. Levinson's world. I am also
concerned that people think glue ear and repeated ear infections and
don't think about reasons for why Dyslexics can auditory processing
difficulties.

Cerebellar Vestibular Dysfunction DOES exist Outside Dr Levinson's World

A lot of Dyslexics have Dyspraxia and/or sensory integration.
They often have problems with balance and coordination, and that's the
problems that I had as a kid. I was taken to see a neurologist because
of those problems as a kid,and he ruled out brain damage. The ear is
not just for hearing. It is also for equilibrium. Anybody who had
anatomy class knows that. Of course, if there is problems with ears,
there can be problems with balance and coordination. Also there is
studies that show that a lot of Dyslexics,ADHDers do have have
cerebellar problems.


Auditory processing issues don't have to be caused only by glue ear
nor repeated ear infections. That wasn't how I was. It can also be
brain abnormalities in the auditory areas of the brain. It can also
be left ear dominance,and you can read about that in the Tomatis
method. I am left ear and left eye dominant,and so is my mother. She
has a lot of Dyslexic symptoms too. It can also be caused by
cerebellar vestibular dysfunction. This stuff is common sense stuff.

Evidence is provided to suggest:

There are structural brain differences, especially in the areas of the
brain involved in language processing, which are associated with
dyslexia. The planum temporale is an area on the surface of each
temporal lobe of the brain behind the primary auditory cortex and is
thought to be involved in language processing. In the general
population, the left planum temporale is usually larger than the right
one, reflecting not only the greater incidence of right handedness in
the general population but also, presumably, the greater involvement
of the left hemisphere in language processing. It is suggested that
with persons with dyslexia, the two plana appear to be more equal in
size.

It really bothers me when people say that cerebellar vestibular
doesn't exist outside Dr Levinson because that's not true. They imply
that people don't have it,and so they probably assume that they are
hypochondriac,stupid,or even mentally ill. That's not true.
Cerebellar Vestibular Dysfunction is real,and many neurologists can
diagnose that. Labyrinthe Dysfunction is another word for it. It's
under ICD 386.50

A lot of people have balance and coordination problems,and they are
not just figment of a person's imagination and they are not
psychological problems. You can get a posturography test to
differentiate psychological problems from a real
neurological,cerebellar,vestibular disorder.

Dr Levinson tested me with electronystagmography,posturography,and
standard neurological tests.
Electronystagmography and posturography tests do exist, and a lot of
neurologists use those tests too.


To say cerebellar vestibular dysfunction does not exist outside Dr.
Levinson's world is not only false but also harmful to others who
might have that condition.


Please feel free to ask me more questions. I just want to help people.
I feel that maybe cerebellar vestibular problems might be connected to
some cases of Dyspraxia,Dyslexia,AD/HD,and I feel that they are
connected to mine.
