More Accurate Diagnosis and Better Treatment
with State-of-the-Art VNG Testing
Pinpoint the cause of your dizziness quickly with the industry’s best testing technology.
Dizziness, vertigo and loss of balance are debilitating conditions that stop you from living your life. Now, you can find a faster, more reliable solution. The newest dizzy test, VNG or videonystagmography, performed by Dr. Robert P. Collette, uses a series of assessments to see which of the three systems that normally keep you balanced is causing your symptoms.
Find out quickly if an inner-ear issue is causing your dizziness so you get your life back.
Many conditions can cause dizziness and nausea; the first step to finding the right treatment for you is the VNG test. Damage to the nerves in your inner ear, your vestibular system, can cause any of these symptoms:
- Dizziness
- Vestibulopathy, imbalance, vision problems
- Nausea
- Disorientation
Using special goggles to track the central motor function of your eyes, VNG technology, is a more accurate, consistent and comfortable test that gives insight into your balance system. If the inner ear is causing your symptoms, this test can determine which part of your inner ear is damaged and which treatment can be used to fix it.
It also is the only test available that can decipher whether you have unilateral (one ear) or bilateral (both ears) damage. That means, we can provide the treatment that will work, and you get fast relief.
Designed to be more comfortable for you, VNG testing is non-invasive and lasts a little over an hour. When you’re more comfortable and relaxed, the test results are more consistent and reliable. There are four main parts of the test:
- Occular Mobility—Watching your eyes follow objects as they move
- Optokinetic Nytagmus—Tracing your eyes’ ability to follow a large, moving visual image
- Positional Nystagmus—Moving your head and body to test eye movement in different positions
- Caloric Testing—Testing how your inner ears reacts to warm/cold air
You won’t have to worry about dizziness, imbalance or falling due to your inner-ear problem again. Schedule your VNG test today and regain your quality of life.
