Vertigo / Dizziness
Lafayette, LA
The doctors at Acadian Hearing and Balance Center in Lafayette, LA can help diagnosis and treat your vertigo and dizziness.
Causes
Dizziness can have many causes. One of our medical doctors will rule out serious health problems first. If they suspect you may have an inner ear problem, they will refer you to our department for additional testing. Below are some inner ear problems that cause vertigo and/or dizziness.
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
- Infection or Inflammation
- Meniere's Disease
- Migrainous Vertigo
- Orthostatic Hypertension
- Acoustic Neuroma
- Other Causes
Diagnostic Tests for Dizziness (Vertigo) and Balance Problems
- Videoonystagmoraphy (VNG)
- Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP)
- Electroncochleography (ECochG)
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.
