| | | | | | Hearing and Balance Disorders
Hearing disorders can be divided into problems of the outer ear (ear canal), middle ear (space behind the eardrum), and inner ear (nerve connecting middle ear to brain). Our Audiology Program employs the latest equipment and testing devices in order to obtain precise measurements of hearing and inner ear nerve conduction. We have highly trained audiologists evaluating patients of all ages every day on our premises.
Balance Disorders are more complex because balance is the product of inputs from the inner ear balance center (labyrinth), eyes, skin, muscle, joint receptors, and central nervous system. A wide variety of inner ear disorders may be partly or fully responsible for one's sensation of dizziness or dysequilibrium. Our Balance Disorders Division combines state-of-the-art vestibular testing with up-to-date treatment options. Our expert Doctors of Audiology conduct specialized tests called ENG (electronystagmography). This is the most advanced test to evaluate inner ear balance function. This test is performed on our premises and can even be scheduled on weekends. Services on premises:
- Complete Audiometric Testing (Hearing Evaluation)
- Tympanometry (Testing for Middle Ear Infection)
- Electronystagmography (Testing for dizziness / vertigo)
- Hearing Aid Evaluation
- Myringotomy & Tube Placement (Drainage of refractory middle ear infection)
