Balance Tests in North Richland Hills
Do you experience dizziness, unsteadiness, or a spinning sensation? North Hills ENT in North Richland Hills offers comprehensive balance testing to help diagnose and treat vestibular (inner ear balance) disorders.
Why Balance Testing Matters
Balance problems can significantly impact your quality of life and increase the risk of falls and injury. The inner ear plays a central role in maintaining balance, and dysfunction there can lead to conditions like vertigo, Meniere’s disease, and labyrinthitis. Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment.
Types of Balance Tests We Offer
Our audiologists and ENT specialists use a range of evidence-based balance assessments:
Videonystagmography (VNG)
Tracks eye movements to assess inner ear and brain function
Dix-Hallpike Maneuver
Identifies benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
Rotary Chair Testing
Evaluates the vestibular system’s response to motion
Posturography
Measures how well you use sensory information to maintain balance
Electrocochleography (ECoG)
Detects endolymphatic hydrops associated with Meniere’s disease
What to Expect During Testing
Balance tests are non-invasive and typically take 60–90 minutes. You may be asked to wear goggles, sit in a rotating chair, or stand on a special platform. Our team will guide you through each step and ensure your comfort throughout the process.
After Your Balance Test
Once testing is complete, your North Hills ENT specialist will review the results with you and recommend a personalized treatment plan. This may include vestibular rehabilitation therapy, medication, or procedural intervention depending on your diagnosis.
