If you’re feeling unsteady or experiencing vertigo, a balance disorder evaluation will help our audiologists determine why and provide recommendations to help you.
Do I Need a Balance Test?
The following are symptoms of balance disorders:
- Sense of spinning
- Dizziness with head or body movement
- Unsteady gait/difficulty walking straight
What Tests Are Used to Diagnose Balance Disorders?
- Videonystagmography: This technique, which detects involuntary eye movements, involves measuring the response of your eyes to moving dots, head and body movements and water or air in the ears.
- Posturography: During this test, you will stand on a platform, and your posture and balance will be measured under various conditions.
