Noun

1. A rare [[ear]] condition in which [[otolith]]s adhere to a [[semicircular canal]] [[cupula]], rendering it heavier than the surrounding [[endolymph]]. Upon reorientation of the head relative to gravity, the cupula is weighted down by the dense particles, inducing an immediate and maintained excitation of semicircular canal afferent nerves.
