Diagnostic Tests for Dizziness (Vertigo) and Balance Problems

Other Tests

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - An MRI creates images of the ear or head. A magnetic field and contrast medium are used to produce the image.
  • Hearing Testing - In most cases, you will be referred for hearing testing. This is because the nerve that sends balance signals also sends hearing signals. A problem that affects balance can also affect hearing.
