Electronystagmography (EKG or Balance Disorder Testing)
Electronystagmography is a test used to evaluate the vestibulocochlear nerve, which provides hearing and helps with balance. The test is used to determine whether ear nerve damage may be the cause of dizziness or vertigo.
During an ENG test, eye movements are recorded by electrodes placed around the eyes or by special video cameras fitted on goggles placed over the eyes. An audiologist measures the eye movements and shows the kind of messages the inner ear is
sending to control the movement of the eyes through the central nervous system.
During the first part of the test, the patient stares at a spot or a light. Next, they watch a light moving on a bar. The third part of the test records eye movements as the patient lies on a bed in different positions (lying on right side, left side, etc.). During the final portion of the test, warm and/or cool water or air will be placed in the outer ear canals.
The test does not hurt, but you may feel dizzy afterwards, so it is best to have someone who can drive you home. The test should not take longer than one or two hours.
