This document is an editorial published in the journal Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience. The editorial focuses on bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP), a condition characterized by imbalance, unsteady gait, oscillopsia, and bilateral loss of vestibular function. The editorial highlights recent advances in understanding BVP, including diagnostic criteria, environmental factors that may contribute to the condition, and the impact of BVP on mobility and cognitive function. The editorial also discusses the importance of questionnaires and neuroimaging in diagnosing and monitoring BVP, as well as the potential role of cumulative noise exposure in the development of the condition. Additionally, the editorial explores the impact of BVP on hearing, canal and otolith organ function, and walking ability. The authors hope that readers will find value in the integration of recent studies on BVP and related topics. [Extracted from the article]
