Audiological Evaluation
An audiological evaluation is a series of tests doctors use to help determine the type, degree and configuration of your hearing loss. The tests often provide insights on what has caused your hearing loss.
Learn MoreBalance Assessment Test
A balance assessment test measures a person’s potential for falls in order to make decisions on which factors require intervention.
Learn MoreCochlear Implant
A cochlear implant is a medical device that can partially restore hearing. A cochlear implant works by directly stimulating the auditory nerve to deliver a sense of sound. Cochlear implants work by processing sound signals and transmitting them to a receiver that is implanted behind the ear.
Learn MoreEndolymphatic Sac Decompression
Endolymphatic sac decompression is a treatment that is performed to maintain the hydrostatic pressure and endolymph homeostasis in the inner ear for patients with Meniere’s disease.
Learn MoreEpley Maneuver
The Epley maneuver, also known as the canalith repositioning maneuver or particle repositioning maneuver, is a series of exercises used to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
Learn MoreHearing Aid
A hearing aid is a small electronic device that is used to improve your hearing. Hearing aids are typically worn behind the ear and can make sounds easier for you to hear — either in noisy or quiet conditions.
Learn MoreLabyrinthectomy
A labyrinthectomy is a surgical procedure that is performed to treat vertigo if you have very little hearing in the affected ear. This is a last resort option when it is determined that a hearing aid will not be effective in helping you hear more clearly.
Learn MoreMicropressure Therapy
Micropressure therapy, also known as positive pressure therapy, is a treatment option to help relieve the symptoms associated with Meniere’s disease. Micropressure therapy is an option before surgical or destructive treatments for Meniere’s disease.
Learn MoreSemicircular Canal Occlusion
Semicircular canal occlusion is a surgical treatment for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Only approximately 5 percent of patients will need surgical treatments to relieve the symptoms of BPPV.
Learn MoreTympanoplasty
Tympanoplasty, also known as perilymph fistula surgery, is a surgical treatment to repair the perilymph fistula. During a tympanoplasty, your eardrum will be reconstructed from cartilage taken from your body.
Learn MoreValsalva Maneuver
The Valsalva maneuver is a breathing technique that can be used to unclog ears, restore heart rhythm or diagnose an autonomic nervous system (ANS). To perform the Valsalva maneuver, you should close your mouth, pinch your nose shut and press the air out like you are blowing up a balloon.
Learn MoreVestibular Nerve Section
A vestibular nerve section test is performed to stop recurrent attacks of vertigo. During the procedure, your surgeon will cut the vestibular part of the cochleovestibular cranial nerve.
Learn MoreVestibular Test
Vestibular testing, also referred to as vestibular function testing or VFTs, is a series of tests that can evaluate hearing function. The goal of the tests is to determine if there is damage to the vestibular portion of the inner ear.
