WHAT IS VNG?

VNG stands for videonystagmography, a series of tests that evaluate the health of your inner ear and central motor function. VNG testing can uncover the root cause of your vertigo, dizziness, or balance issues and allow your doctor or audiologist to treat them appropriately and effectively. Most VNG evaluations consist of four main tests:

  • Ocular Mobility
  • Optokinetic Nystagmus
  • Positional Nystagmus
  • Caloric Vestibular Testing

Vertigo, dizziness, and balance problems can be life-altering, affecting many people’s ability to perform even the simplest daily tasks. If you are experiencing vertigo or balance issues, your doctor may refer you for a VNG balance evaluation.

WHAT IS VNG?

A VNG is an important diagnostic tool for assessing balance, dizziness, and light-headedness conditions. It consists of a series of tests performed while the patient wears a pair of infrared goggles. During the session, patients will follow objects with their eyes while the device measures their eye movements. A VNG can help a neurologist determine the cause of balance issues by testing for inner ear problems in each ear and assessing general motor functionality.
