Dizziness Evaluation and Therapy

Dizziness & Vertigo Evaluations

If you are feeling imbalanced or dizzy Castle Rock Ear Associates provides thorough evaluations of your vestibular(balance) system. We start your visit with a hearing test because both the balance and hearing systems are part of the inner ear. Following the hearing test, Dr Hegarty will thoroughly review your medical history and perform a physical and neuro-otological examination. Our doctors may recommend you undergo additional diagnostic testing to determine whether problems in your inner ear are causing your balance disorder. Castle Rock Ear Associates has state-of-the-art equipment for testing, including vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, videonystagmography (VNG), and auditory brainstem response. We might recommend other procedures, such as labs, imaging tests (MRI or CT), and additional consultations if warranted.
