  • Common Vestibular Function Tests
    Common Vestibular Function Tests Authors: Barbara Susan Robinson, PT, DPT; Lisa Heusel-Gillig PT DPT NCS Fact Sheet The purpose of Vestibular Function Tests (VFTs) is to determine the health of the vestibular portion of the inner ear. These tests are commonly performed by ENTs, Audiologists, and Otolaryngologists Electronystagmography or Videonystagmography Electronystagmography (ENG test) or Videonystagmography (VNG test) evaluate the inner ear. Both record eye movements during a group of tests in light and dark rooms. During the ENG test, small electrodes are placed on the skin near the eyes to record eye movements. For the VNG test, eye movements are recorded by a video camera mounted inside of goggles that are worn during testing. ENG and VNG tests evaluate eye movements while following a visual target (tracking Produced by test) or during body and head position changes (positional test). The caloric test evaluates eye movements in response to cool or warm air (or water) placed in the ear canal. If there is no response to warm or cool air or water, ice water may be used in order to try to produce a response. The caloric test determines the difference between the function of the left and right inner ear. During this test, you may experience dizziness or nausea. You may be asked questions (math questions, city names, alphabet tasks) to distract you in order to get the best results.

  • Vestibular Neuritis, Labyrinthitis, and a Few Comments Regarding Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss Marcello Cherchi
    Vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, and a few comments regarding sudden sensorineural hearing loss Marcello Cherchi §1: What are these diseases, how are they related, and what is their cause? §1.1: What is vestibular neuritis? Vestibular neuritis, also called vestibular neuronitis, was originally described by Margaret Ruth Dix and Charles Skinner Hallpike in 1952 (Dix and Hallpike 1952). It is currently suspected to be an inflammatory-mediated insult (damage) to the balance-related nerve (vestibular nerve) between the ear and the brain that manifests with abrupt-onset, severe dizziness that lasts days to weeks, and occasionally recurs. Although vestibular neuritis is usually regarded as a process affecting the vestibular nerve itself, damage restricted to the vestibule (balance components of the inner ear) would manifest clinically in a similar way, and might be termed “vestibulitis,” although that term is seldom applied (Izraeli, Rachmel et al. 1989). Thus, distinguishing between “vestibular neuritis” (inflammation of the vestibular nerve) and “vestibulitis” (inflammation of the balance-related components of the inner ear) would be difficult. §1.2: What is labyrinthitis? Labyrinthitis is currently suspected to be due to an inflammatory-mediated insult (damage) to both the “hearing component” (the cochlea) and the “balance component” (the semicircular canals and otolith organs) of the inner ear (labyrinth) itself. Labyrinthitis is sometimes also termed “vertigo with sudden hearing loss” (Pogson, Taylor et al. 2016, Kim, Choi et al. 2018) – and we will discuss sudden hearing loss further in a moment. Labyrinthitis usually manifests with severe dizziness (similar to vestibular neuritis) accompanied by ear symptoms on one side (typically hearing loss and tinnitus).

  • Endolymphatic Hydrops Meniere's
    ENDOLYMPHATIC HYDROPS MENIERE’S DISEASE Introduction: Meniere’s Disease, or endolymphatic hydrops, is a disorder of the inner ear. This condition occurs because of abnormal fluctuations in the inner ear fluid called endolymph. A system of membranes, called the membranous labyrinth, contains a fluid called endolymph. This fluid bathes the inner ear balance and hearing system sensory cells and allows them to function normally. The membranes can become dilated like a balloon when pressure increases. This is called "hydrops". The amount of fluid is normally kept constant by altering the production and absorption of the fluid. Endolymph also contains a specific concentration of sodium, potassium, chloride, and other electrolytes. If the inner ear is damaged by disease, injury, or other causes, the volume and composition of the inner ear fluid can fluctuate with changes in the body’s fluid and electrolyte levels. This fluctuation in inner ear fluid can cause the symptoms of hydrops, including pressure or fullness of the affected ear, tinnitus, hearing loss, and imbalance or dizziness. Treatment of this condition is geared towards stabilizing the body fluid levels so that fluctuations in the endolymph volume can be avoided. Meniere's episodes may occur in clusters in which several attacks may occur within a short period of time. On the other hand, years may pass between episodes. Between the acute attacks, most people are free of symptoms or note mild imbalance, tinnitus, and/or hearing loss. Meniere’s affects roughly 0.2% of the population, about 200 out of 100,000 people (or in other words, 2/1000).

Peripheral in this context refers to (cochlea) & balance a system that is outside of the central nervous system (brain and (vestibular). brainstem). The peripheral vestibular system sends information to the brain and brainstem. The vestibular system in each ear consists of a complex series of passageways and chambers within the bony skull. Within these ARTICLE passageways are tubes (semicircular canals), and sacs (a utricle and saccule), filled with a fluid called endolymph. Around the outside of the tubes and sacs is a different fluid called perilymph. Both of these fluids are of precise chemical compositions, and they are different. The mechanism that regulates the amount and composition of these fluids is 04 important to the proper functioning of the inner ear. Each of the semicircular canals is located in a different spatial plane. They are located at right angles to each other and to those in the ear on the opposite side of the head. At the base of each canal is a swelling DID THIS ARTICLE (ampulla) and within each ampulla is a sensory receptor (cupula). HELP YOU? MOVEMENT AND BALANCE SUPPORT VEDA @ VESTIBULAR.ORG With head movement in the plane or angle in which a canal is positioned, the endo-lymphatic fluid within that canal, because of inertia, lags behind. When this fluid lags behind, the sensory receptor within the canal is bent.
