A test involving the placement of several electrodes on the head and clicking sounds through earphones to evaluate neural function of the auditory pathway. The test takes approximately about 30-45 minutes and requires the patient to sit in a recliner with their eyes closed.

This test is a graphical representation of hearing sensitivity at various frequencies.  The length of time and appropriate type(s) of tests administered to gather data regarding hearing sensitivity are dependent on the age of the patient (ex. child vs. adult). Testing time ranges from 15 to 30 minutes.

Involves the assessment of auditory processing (AP) and identification of auditory processing disorders (APD) in children and adults using a battery of audiological tests. Testing is very comprehensive and requires approximately 4 hours.

A test involving the placement of several electrodes on the head and clicking sounds administered through earphones to evaluate the basilar membrane and balance related features. It requires the patient to sit in a recliner with their eyes closed for about 15-20 minutes.

This test involves electrical stimulation of the facial nerve to evaluate for facial nerve integrity. The test requires the patient sit in a chair and takes approximately 30 minutes.

A test designed to evaluate the outer hair cell function of the inner ear (cochlea). It requires the patient to be relatively quiet and still during testing. The test does not require the patient to respond but can provide valuable information regarding hearing.

A balance test that evaluates the saccule function of the balance system. During this 30-45 minute test electrodes are placed on the patients neck while earphones direct sound into the ear. The patient is required to turn their head to the instructed side during this procedure while a recording is made.

A relatively quick test designed to evaluate the utricle function of the balance system. During this test the patient is seated in a chair that rotates and is instructed to adjust a visible luminous line in complete darkness to what they consider to be vertical. This is done while the chair is both stationary and once again once it begins to turn.

A test designed to evaluate the cause of reported lightheadedness and/or unexplained fainting due to changes in blood pressure.  In this test the patient’s heart rate and blood pressure and are monitored and recorded over a period of approximately 60 minutes. These recordings are made while the patient is in both a flat position (laying down) and then once tilted upward.
