Auditory Brainstem Testing

The auditory brainstem response test (ABR) is used to rule out the presence of acoustic tumors or other damage to the auditory nerve. ABR is also used to determine hearing loss in infants and other patients who are unable to participate in standard behavioral testing. We have the capacity to do sedated ABR testing should that be necessary for young children.


Electronystagmography/Videonystagmography

This test evaluates the functioning of the balance part of the inner ear. Results of this test are used to assist in recommending treatment for balance disorders.


Otoacoustic Emissions


Otoacoustic emissions testing assesses the functioning of the outer hair cells in the cochlea. It is an objective test of auditory function that does not require behavioral responses from the patient.
