Burlington, Ontario Jul 11, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - The vestibular system plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and spatial orientation, contributing to overall well-being and quality of life. However, millions of people worldwide grapple with vestibular disorders, leading to dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and other debilitating symptoms. Recognizing the pressing need for specialized care in this domain, Hearing Excellence provides cutting-edge assessment and management services to those affected within the GTA.
Vineeta Ojha, Founder, and Clinical Director at Hearing Excellence, expressed her excitement about the new service, saying, "We are proud to introduce Vestibular Assessment & Management to the GTA community. We understand the immense impact that vestibular disorders can have on individuals' daily lives, and we are committed to delivering top-tier care and support to help them regain their balance and lead fulfilling lives."
The Vestibular Assessment & Management service at Hearing Excellence is designed to provide comprehensive evaluations, accurate diagnoses, and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. By leveraging state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and the knowledge of their highly skilled audiologists, Hearing Excellence ensures accurate identification of vestibular disorders and offers evidence-based interventions.
During a Vestibular Assessment, we will thoroughly gather detailed information about your symptoms. Our team will inquire about your health, medications, and lifestyle to better understand your condition.
To assess your balance, we will conduct a series of basic balance tests using different stances and conditions, including both eyes open and closed. In addition, we will utilize dynamic posturography via m-CTSIBs, a specialized technique that evaluates your postural stability by measuring body movements and the center of pressure shifts on a force plate or balance platform.
Using infrared goggles, we will examine the functionality of the inner sensors responsible for the balance. This will provide insights into the coordination between your eyes, body, and brain as they work together to maintain balance. This assessment, known as Video-nystagmography (VNG), involves observing your eye, head, and body movements.
For a more comprehensive investigation, we will perform additional tests such as the Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) and dynamic visual acuity testing (DVI). The vHIT assesses the function of your vestibular system by analyzing eye movements in response to rapid head movements. DVI evaluates your visual acuity while simulating dynamic movements, helping us understand how well your vision adapts during motion.
This comprehensive vestibular assessment enables us to identify signs of peripheral (inner ear) and/or central (parts of the brain) disorders. By obtaining a clear understanding of your condition, we can develop the most suitable course of action for you. This may include further medical investigations, as needed, and, most importantly, a tailored treatment plan to address your specific needs.
Hearing Excellence has trained a team of experienced vestibular clinicians who are well-versed in the latest advancements in audiology and vestibular care.
