With limited information, I guess it could be A -bppv. b - Classic triad of tinnitus,hearing loss c - only one attack not suggestive + hearing loss should be there d - other symptoms like blurry vision etc would be expected This attack could be explained by the otolith present in the labryinth which could be relieved by changing positions.

thanks! that is what I thought. then ,i am not sure because that labyrinth includes cochlea and vestibular system. does the loss of labyrinth function mean loss of both hearing and balance? then, A is no hearing loss. so i am confused

My best guess is A. Positional vertigo Loss of labyrinth function can include both hearing and balance but the attack of only 1 minute is very typical for positional vertigo. In Meniere disease the attacks last longer (1-8 hour according to Kaplan). In both, recurrency is common.
