Pure tone air, bone, and speech testing is used to determine the type and degree of hearing loss. This assessment is performed by presenting different sounds through headphones or ear inserts, and averaging the lowest volume a patient responds to at each frequency. 

 Our goal in administering the VNG test is to determine if inner-ear disease is causing a balance or dizziness problem. It’s one of few tests that can identify and recognize the differences between vestibular loss in one or both ears. This test also addresses the functionality of each ear and if a vestibular deficit may be the cause of a dizziness or balance problem.

VNG tests document a person’s ability to follow visual objects with their eyes and how well the eyes respond to information from the vestibular system. To monitor the movements of the eyes, infrared goggles are placed around the eyes to record eye movements. VNG testing is non-invasive, and only minor discomfort is felt by the patients during testing as a result of wearing goggles.

 An Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) is a test an audiologist can perform which measures your brain's response to sound. It uses electrodes placed in strategic locations on the head to determine how well your acoustic nerve transmits the signal representing sound from the cochlea to the brain.
