1. Test environment The ideal test environment is a quiet room. 2. Preparing the patient Place the patient in a position that will allow easy access to the ear canal. Use the shirt clip on the remote…
Caloric testing is the gold standard test of lateral semi-circular canal function. It consists of introducing warm and cool air or water into a patient's ears and measuring the eye movements it cause…
What is the supine roll test? The supine roll test is a diagnostic maneuver used to identify horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (HC-BPPV). During the supine roll test, the patient…
It is relatively simple to track horizontal and vertical eye movements using videonystagmography (VNG) because they can be directly deduced from the position of the pupil. However, torsional movement…
This video provides a demonstration of preparing a newborn baby for threshold auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing, including skin preparation and electrode placement. You can read the full tran…

Yes VEMPs can be used in a number of ways and, like a number of vestibular diagnostic tests associated with Meniere’s disease, the result and the interpretation depend to a large extent of the point…
What is an electrical auditory brainstem response (eABR)? An electrical auditory brainstem response (eABR) is a measurement of the ABR using an electrical stimulus. Instead of a traditional acoustic…
What is the tone decay test? The tone decay test can help to identify the adaptation of the auditory system (Carhart, 1957). It involves measuring the perceptual reduction in a continuous tone over t…
Transcript Before you start testing, instruct the patient to turn off all their electronic devices in order to minimize noise. Now, look in your patient's ear to ensure no excess cerumen is present…
