So what triggered the leap from hearing loss to incapacitating dizziness in Miller's case? The etiology is unknown, Miller says, pointing to the possibility of a virus or inner-ear inflammation. Tumors are another cause, says Nevin, along with specific conditions such as Meniere's disease or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, the latter of which is the most common. In BPPV, which is diagnosed with a simple clinical test, particles in the inner ear dislodge and cause the spinning sensation when one rolls over in bed or bends. I can't remove the particles, but I can help them go back in place, says Nevin.

7. 1,000 years from now, the world population is estimated to be roughly 14 billion. Although such predictions are unlikely to be accurate, the concern is real, and more and more people are working fast and hard for solutions.n honor of our 1,000th Toptenz article, Ray is going to take the podium to share with us some of his ideas about the future. According to Ray, some of the same people living today will still be around in 1,000 years!
