Vertigo and Hearing Tests
Comprehensive Balance and Audiology Diagnostics at Elite Health Care
Accurately diagnosing the root cause of vertigo, dizziness, or hearing loss is the first and most critical step toward recovery. As a leading centre with the best vertigo specialist in Surat, we offer advanced diagnostic tests that evaluate the inner ear (vestibular system) and auditory pathways.
Our assessments are safe, precise, and conducted by experienced professionals using state-of-the-art medical equipment.
Vestibular & Vertigo Diagnostics
Our clinic performs specialized vestibular function tests to identify why you are experiencing spinning sensations, unsteadiness, or balance problems. Common tests used to make a definitive vertigo diagnosis include:
Videonystagmography (VNG) & Electronystagmography (ENG)
VNG and ENG are advanced diagnostic procedures that record and analyze involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) using infrared cameras or electrodes. This determines whether your dizziness is caused by an inner ear disorder or a central nervous system issue.
Dix-Hallpike Maneuver
A clinical test specifically used to diagnose Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). During the maneuver, our specialist carefully guides your head and body into specific positions while monitoring your eyes for telltale movements that indicate displaced inner ear crystals.
Head Impulse Test (HIT)
This test measures how well your eyes can focus on a target during rapid, small movements of the head. It evaluates the function of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) to detect weaknesses in the vestibular system.
Romberg Test
A simple yet vital neurological assessment that checks your static balance. It evaluates your proprioceptive, vestibular, and visual systems by observing your stability while standing with your eyes closed.
Fukuda-Unterberger Test
A stepping test used to identify lateral weakness in the vestibular system. Patients step in place with their eyes closed, and any significant rotation or deviation to one side helps locate the affected inner ear.
[!NOTE] These specialized balance and vertigo tests are safe and typically take around 30 to 40 minutes to complete. We recommend that patients schedule an appointment in advance to prepare for their visit.
Hearing Assessments & Audiology
A comprehensive hearing test evaluates how sensitive your ears are to different sound frequencies. Tests are performed by our qualified audiologists using a high-precision digital audiometer.
We provide dedicated hearing evaluations for patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors:
- Audiometry (Pure Tone & Impedance): Determines the quietest sounds you can hear at various pitches (frequencies), helping us identify the type and degree of hearing loss.
- Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE): A quick, painless test that measures the acoustic response generated by the outer hair cells of the cochlea, frequently used in newborn screenings.
- Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (BERA): An objective test that measures how the hearing nerve and brain pathways respond to sounds, essential for diagnosing hearing problems in infants and young children who cannot respond to traditional tests.
Newborn Hearing Screening
Early detection of hearing loss is crucial for speech and cognitive development. We offer specialized newborn hearing screening tests using BERA and OAE to ensure your child’s auditory system is healthy right from birth.
Modern Hearing Aid Solutions
For patients experiencing permanent hearing loss, a modern hearing aid can significantly improve communication, relationships, and overall well-being.
A hearing aid is a small, battery-powered electronic device designed to amplify sound. Available in various sleek designs (worn inside or discreetly behind the ear), they feature micro-technology:
- A microphone picks up the surrounding sound.
- An amplifier processes and strengthens the audio signal.
- A receiver sends the amplified sound directly into your ear canal.
At Elite Health Care, we provide expert guidance on hearing aid selection, custom fittings, and comprehensive follow-up care to help you find the perfect solution for your lifestyle.
