What is Vestibular Testing?
Vestibular testing comprises a series of non-invasive assessments designed to evaluate the function of the inner ear's balance system, known as the vestibular system.
A Comprehensive Vestibular Diagnosis Matters, as it helps to:
Differentiate between Central and Peripheral causes
Avoid unnecessary imaging/referrals
Rule serious neurological causes early
Guide targeted treatment
Our test Battery will include:
1. Advanced Video Nystagmography (VNG)
NeuroEquilibrium VNG uses the most advanced technology for eye tracking using IR cameras to evaluate the vestibular and oculomotor systems. This cutting-edge equipment eliminates contamination by myogenic and electrical noise seen in ENG.
Features
NeuroEquilibrium Video Nystagmography evaluates peripheral and central vestibular functions through the following protocols:
Spontaneous nystagmus
Oculomotor tests
Gaze evoked nystagmus
Smooth tracking
Saccades
Skew deviation
Optokinetic test
Induced nystagmus
Positional test
Valsalva induced nystagmus
Hyperventilation induced nystagmus
Head shaking test
2. Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT)
The vHIT tests high frequency Vestibulo Ocular Reflex (VOR) of all 6 semi-circular canals.
Features
Quick test : 10 minutes to independently test the 6 canals
Motion sensor accurately measures the head movement allowing for simultaneous comparison of head and eye movement
High frame rate camera (200fps) allows precise tracking of eye movements during head impulse
Lightweight goggle design to reduce slippage
Built-in lasers that provide stimulus for calibration
3. Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV)
For detection of abnormal subjective tilt
Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV) is an investigation to evaluate the otolith system, which is responsible for perception of verticality.
Static and dynamic SVV are important to:
Features
Assess otolithic disorders
Assess chronic dizziness
Decide side of peripheral vestibular insult during the acute stage
Diagnose compensated vestibular disorders
Assess the effect of rehabilitation
Common Causes of Balance Disorders?
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis
Meniere’s disease
Vestibular migraine
Concussion of head trauma
Age-related degeneration of the vestibular system
Cervicogenic dizziness
Central causes (e.g., stroke, multiple sclerosis, brainstem lesions)

I have recently update my hearing aids. Ms Sheeja provided excellent advice and service to me. She went out of her way to provide this help in choosing a new hearing aid. I highly commend her professional service.

I first visited Enhance Hearing Glenmore Park after being referred for testing following an ear infection. I had previously been tested at a different organization and was not happy with the outcome as I felt I had been "rushed through."
My visit with Johanna Rai at Enhance Hearing Glenmore Park was quite different! During my hearing assessment, Johanna listened closely to my history and carefully noted my symptoms. She conducted the testing taking into account factors such as my tinnitus and I felt more confident in the accuracy of her assessment. Johanna then reviewed my results and explained everything to me in terms I could understand.
When my specialist recommended that it was time to start using hearing aids, I returned to Enhance Hearing Glenmore Park. Johanna guided me through the selection process, helping me find something that was comfortable to wear and that suited my needs.
I have been very happy with the results. I now find it much easier to follow conversations when I’m out and about, and I can cope better in crowded locations. My wife has also commented that I’m no longer asking people to repeat themselves all the time.
I’m happy to recommend Johanna Rai and the Enhance Hearing team at Glenmore Park. Thank you, Johanna!
