Balance & Vestibular

VNG, rotary chair, VEMP, and ECOG testing for dizziness and balance disorders.

Understanding Dizziness, Vertigo & Balance Disorders

Dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems affect millions of Americans and can significantly disrupt daily life — yet the underlying cause often goes undiagnosed for years. According to the National Institutes of Health, dizziness or loss of balance will affect 90 million Americans at some point in their lifetime, and inner ear disturbances account for 85% of all dizziness disorders.

At Desert Valley Audiology, we offer comprehensive vestibular and balance testing to help identify the source of your symptoms. Our evaluations use advanced neurodiagnostic technology to assess how your inner ear balance system is functioning and where a problem may be occurring.

The vestibular system is the part of the inner ear responsible for balance and spatial orientation. When it malfunctions, you may experience dizziness, vertigo, unsteadiness, or a feeling that the room is spinning — all of which can significantly affect daily life.
We use several neurodiagnostic tests depending on your symptoms — including VNG, ECOG, rotary chair testing, and VEMP testing. Your audiologist will determine which evaluations are appropriate during your appointment.
VNG (Vestibulonystagmography) measures eye movements in response to head position changes. It is one of the most widely used tests for evaluating the vestibular system and can help identify the source of your dizziness or imbalance.
We perform comprehensive diagnostic testing and provide detailed results to you and your physician. We offer vestibular rehabilitation referrals and continued audiological support as part of your overall treatment plan.
Consider a vestibular evaluation if you experience dizziness, spinning sensations, unsteadiness, or balance problems — especially if they are recurring, worsening, or affecting your ability to work, drive, or move safely.
