The goal of this virtual clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of two study devices in providing temporary relief to adults aged 18-70 who suffer from symptoms of chronic vestibular vertigo. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Within an episode, is there a significant difference between the randomized study devices at the individual timepoints during the vertigo episode? * Within an episode, is there evidence of quantitative treatment at each individual timepoint during the vertigo episode? Participants will be: * Enrolled up to 49 days; 14 days in Baseline Phase (no device) and 21 days in Treatment Phase (study device) for Study Arm 1 or 28 days in Treatment Phase (study device) for Study Arm 2 * Randomized and stratified into groups based on diagnosis to be assigned a study device * Asked to use the study device as instructed by the study coordinator * Asked to download a study app to submit daily diaries regarding their symptoms and use of device, and to participate in tele-health visits with study coordinators * Asked to provide their vertigo diagnosis from their physician * Compensated for their participation Researchers will compare the randomized groups to see which groups respond better to which device.
This study is decentralized clinical trial. This study uses technology and and virtual meetings to communicate with study participants and collect study data. This study seeks to enroll until 36 participants in the Moderate or Worse (MoW) arm have completed the study, and until 72 participants have completed the Quality of Life (QoL) arm. All study participants that meet all of the inclusion, none of the exclusion criteria, and sign informed consent will be enrolled in the study. Participants will complete a one day enrollment meeting and an approximately 14 day Baseline Phase. After the Baseline Phase, participants will be placed in one of two groups Moderate or Worse (MoW) group or Quality of Life (QoL) group based on the data collected about their vertigo during the Baseline Phase. Participants will then be randomized within their assigned group (MoW or QoL) at a 2:1 ratio to an active arm or sham arm to begin the Treatment Phase of the study. Participants will be sent a study device to use when they have a vertigo episode. Participants that enroll in the study are expected to participate up to 49 days with virtual meetings at the approximate intervals: MoW Group: Day 4, Day 16, Day 21, Day 24, Day 31, and Day 42 QoL Group : Day 4, Day 16, Day, 21, Day 24, Day 31, and Day 49 Participants will be required to complete the DHI (Dizziness Handicap Index), VSS (Vertigo Symptom Scale), Global Impression of Symptoms, and Global Impression of Change questionnaires. Otolith Labs received Therapeutic Breakthrough Device designation by the FDA in May 2021.

Moderate or Worse Change in Vertigo Severity
Change in participant response to "How severe is your vertigo right now?" during vertigo episodes, compared to responses in baseline phase
Time frame: Through 21 days of treatment phase of "moderate of worse" arm of study
Quality of Life Change in Scores
Change in participant's Vertigo Symptom Scale (VSS) score, compared to baseline VSS score
Time frame: Day 28 of treatment phase of "quality of life" arm of study
Device Effectiveness
Percent change in mean severity of vertigo episodes as reported by the participant during the Treatment phase, compared to the Baseline phase.
Time frame: 30 minutes post vertigo episode during the treatment phase
