Balance disorder testing

At Danica Hearing Centre, we use the Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) test to asses for balance disorders.

The purpose of VEMP this test is to determine if the vestibular nerve which is responsible for balance is in good working order.

This test requires that the patient will lie flat and calm for a few minutes, while the test is done. The skin is cleaned on the forehead and on the neck. Electrodes are placed over the cleaned surface. Headphones are placed over the ears and sound is transmitted to the patient. The electrodes measure the response of the balance nerve.

The test is completely painless. The test is safe and one of the most modern tests available.

The VEMP test is fully computerised and results are obtained within half an hour and are interpreted by the doctor.
