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.
