Are you experiencing dizziness, balance issues, or frequent episodes of vertigo?
At Hearing 360 Degree in Kolkata, we offer the videonystagmography (VNG) test, a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool to evaluate balance disorders and inner ear function. With this test, we can pinpoint the root cause of your symptoms and recommend the right treatment to help you regain your stability and quality of life.
What is a Videonystagmography (VNG) Test?
A VNG test is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that examines the coordination between your inner ear, eyes, and brain in maintaining balance. It measures involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) that occur when your balance system is stimulated.
This test is particularly helpful in diagnosing conditions that cause dizziness, vertigo, or imbalance, such as:
- Vestibular disorders.
- Inner ear infections or inflammation.
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).
- Ménière’s disease.
- Neurological issues affecting balance.
Who Should Take a VNG Test?
You may need a VNG test if you experience:
- Frequent dizziness or spinning sensations (vertigo).
- Balance problems that make it hard to stand or walk.
- Unexplained nausea or motion sickness.
- Difficulty focusing or tracking objects visually.
Whether your symptoms are mild or severe, a VNG test at Hearing 360 Degree can provide valuable insights into your condition.
How is the Videonystagmography Test Performed?
At Hearing 360 Degree, the VNG test is conducted in a comfortable, step-by-step process:
- Preparation: You’ll be asked to wear goggles equipped with cameras to record your eye movements.
- Testing in Different Positions: The test involves various tasks, such as following a moving target on a screen, sitting, lying down, or turning your head.
- Balance System Evaluation: Different parts of the test assess how your inner ear and eyes respond to movements or changes in position.
- Caloric Testing: Warm or cool air or water is introduced into your ear canal to observe how your balance system reacts.
The entire procedure takes about 60-90 minutes and is safe, non-invasive, and completely painless.
