Summary

Our private clinic* offers the most modern and accurate tests to assess how the inner ear balance sensors are working and integrating with the eyes, body and brain to maintain balance. We are able to analyze all five inner ear sensors for balance with our VNG, Positional and Positioning Tests, and vHIT. Cervical and ocular VEMPs and caloric tests are done when indicated. Each assessment starts with a detailed interview to understand your symptoms and health history, followed by a diagnostic hearing test. This thorough process allows us to interpret results and tailor a treatment plan.
