For patients with symptoms of hearing loss, The Hearing and Balance Center of Port Huron can assist you with selecting the best hearing aid for your needs and budget.

Vestibular Testing

Vestibular testing involves a series of assessments focused on the vestibular system – the balance apparatus located within the inner ear. This complex system provides information to the brain about body position and movement. According to the American Hearing Research Foundation, vestibular disorders often result in problems with balance, spatial orientation, and vision stability.

Such testing can help in diagnosing various conditions, including benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere’s disease, vestibular neuritis, and labyrinthitis. It’s a valuable tool for healthcare professionals to identify whether the origin of these symptoms lies in the inner ear or is due to other neurological problems. Once the origin of the symptoms is identified through testing, your Port Huron ENT provider will work with you to develop a treatment plan.

With the wide variety of hearing aid options available today, selecting the right one can seem overwhelming.
