One recent large epidemiological study estimates that as many as 35% of adults aged 40 years or older in the United States have experienced some form of vestibular dysfunction. Eighty percent of people aged 65 years and older have experienced dizziness, and BPPV (Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), the most common vestibular disorder, is the cause of approximately 50% of dizziness in older people.

Approximately eight million American adults report a chronic problem (lasting three months or longer) with balance, while an additional 2.4 million American adults report a chronic problem with dizziness alone. Overall, vertigo from a vestibular problem accounts for a third of all dizziness symptoms reported to health care professionals.
