Balance Testing in Anytown

Balance testing (vestibular diagnostics) is a series of evaluations designed to assess how well your inner ear, eyes, and brain work together to maintain balance. Testing can show if symptoms are related to an inner ear or eye issue, or a related neurological condition.

What to Expect

  • A series of tests assessing eye movement, inner ear response, and balance control
  • May include videonystagmography (VNG) to track eye movements
  • Testing may also include rotary chair or vHIT testing for head movement response
  • Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) to assess how parts of ear and nerve respond
  • Comfortable and safe process guided by your hearing specialist

Since your inner ear is a key part of balance, these tests help pinpoint causes of dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance. The results help better target treatment to reduce falls, improve stability and help you return to normal life.

Common Balance Disorders

Several conditions can affect balance, including:

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

Brief episodes of dizziness related to head movements.

Labyrinthitis

Inner ear infection causing dizziness and hearing loss.

Ménière’s Disease

Inner ear disorder leading to vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus.

Cerebellar Ataxia

Lack of muscle coordination due to cerebellum issues.

Sensory Ataxia

Coordination problems from sensory nerve damage.

Care and Treatment

Depending on your results, recommended next steps may include:

  • Vestibular therapy or balance rehabilitation
  • Repositioning maneuvers or device recommendations
  • Medical referrals if needed
  • Follow-ups to monitor progress and adjust treatment

Addressing hearing loss promptly can provide powerful benefits, including:
