Comprehensive Center for Hearing and Balance

This crucial hearing test identifies a person's hearing threshold levels, helping to pinpoint the severity, nature, and pattern of their hearing loss.

Used alongside pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry helps determine the extent and kind of hearing loss and gauges a person's comfort with speech sounds and their ability to recognize words.

Immittance Audiometry

This hearing test process involves tympanometry to assess eardrum movement and middle ear health, acoustic reflex testing to measure eardrum changes in response to loud sounds, and a reflex decay test that monitors these changes over 10 seconds. The results guide the audiologist in determining whether hearing loss is due to problems with the cochlea or acoustic nerve.

Play Audiometry

Play Audiometry is a child-friendly hearing test method conducted at the hearing center, transforming basic hearing tests into games for toddlers and preschoolers. It assesses their ability to recognize different sound intensities and pitches.

Otoacoustic Emissions Screening (OAE)/ Newborn Hearing Screening Test

The Otoacoustic Emissions Screening (OAE) is a newborn hearing test that measures sound from the inner ear to detect potential hearing loss, playing a critical role in early auditory health assessment.

Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR)

Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) is a neurologic test of auditory nerve function. It measures electrical activity in the brain in response to sound, helping diagnose hearing loss and neurological disorders.

Auditory Steady State Response (ASSR)

The Auditory Steady State Response (ASSR) is an objective hearing test that evaluates neural responses to auditory stimuli, providing frequency-specific information about hearing sensitivity.

Electrocochleography (ECochG)

Electrocochleography (ECochG) captures electrical potentials from the cochlea and auditory nerve, providing valuable information for diagnosing disorders such as Meniere's disease

Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT)

The Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) is a quantitative evaluation of the vestibular ocular reflex, assessing the function of each semicircular canal in the inner ear.

Videonystagmography (VNG)

Videonystagmography (VNG) is a non-invasive diagnostic test used to evaluate the function of the inner ear and central motor functions, used in diagnosing dizziness and balance disorders.

Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP)

Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) is a test that evaluates the function of specific vestibular pathways, playing a crucial role in diagnosing diseases of the ear and vestibular system.

Epley Maneuver

The Epley Maneuver is a non-invasive exercise used to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). It involves specific head movements to alleviate symptoms by repositioning displaced inner ear crystals.
