I knew those as otoliths, and the vertigo they cause is so intense and annoying I never forgot the name: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
replyFortunately, the Epley maneuver is very effective, if done correctly. Unfortunately, if done incorrectly it can worsen the symptoms. It's all about identifying in which semicircular canal are the otoliths before moving them.
If I understand correctly this is the same as BPPV which is on there :)
replyYou're right! I brought BPPV was just all benign cases of vertigo regardless of origin but the article does mention tiny crystals, good catch!
replyAh great! I'll put it on my list to read up on. Thanks
replyAnother one I'm not sure how to fully explain: closing the nose without touching it.
replyI can fully block smells or breathing by doing something that feels like inflating a zone between the top of the mouth and the nose. When speaking it will sound as if I am pinching my nose without hands. Comes in handy when having to face horrible smells.
I assume everybody can do it but many don't know how.

Everybody who can speak can do it because that's what you do when you say [k] or [g].
replyOh great point this will go on the oddity once I add it!
