We are proud to announce that we will be offering additional testing in our electrophysiology lab in our Somerset office! Auditory Brainstem Response Testing (ABR) and Videonystamography testing (VNG) are now being offered at The Hearing Center. Offering of these services was paused during the pandemic, and we are now able to offer them again!

Auditory Brainstem Response testing is an objective measure to evaluate an individual’s hearing ability. It requires no participation from the patient and serves multiple purposes:-ABR testing is one method of performing newborn hearing screenings-Individuals who are unable to participate in traditional behavioral testing can have their hearing tested via ABR-ABR testing may be conducted if there is an asymmetry, or difference in hearing, between the two ears

Videonystagmography is a test battery that assesses the vestibular, or balance, system. Our eyes, ears and brain all work together to contribute to our balance. Certain balance disorders have the potential to be related to the inner-ear. VNG testing consists of a series of measures that evaluate the individual's ability to respond to incoming information to the inner ear and vestibular system. In order to record the patient's eye movements, he or she wears goggles that utilize infrared cameras. VNG testing can also be used to determine the functionality of each ear's vestibular system in isolation.

If you are interested or in need of ABR or VNG testing, please contact us to schedule an appointment!
