Immittance Audiometry (Low Frequency Tympanometry & Acoustic Reflexometry)
Description:
It is objectively assesses mobility of the Tympano-Ossicular system as well as to rule out any Middle Ear Pathology (Tympanometry) & assesses the Acoustic Reflex Pathways (Ipsi & Contra) (Acoustic Reflexometry).
.
Test Preparation:
Chewing, Swallowing, & Head or body movements are not allowed during testing as well as during sedated deep sleep, positive pressure may build up in the Middle Ears, which can compromise the results; although positive Middle Ear Pressure does not have any significant diagnostic values.
Validation of Report: Around 3 months (depends on advancing age & Pathological conditions).
.
Eligibility Criteria:
Patient having Active Otorrhea, Severe Otalgia, H/O recently operated Ear(s), Impacted Cerumen/Debris in EAC, Anatomical Deformities (Aural Atresia/Stenosis), Perilymphatic Fistulas are generally not a reliable candidate for tympanometry & Tullio Phenomenon and Hyperacusis suffering patients for Acoustic Reflexometry .

Video Electronystagmography / VNG [Caloric]
Description:
It directly records eye movements (Rotational Nystagmus) by a Video Camera only in Eyes open position as well as to observe, measurement & analysis of Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) & evaluates Oculomotor System.
.
Test Preparation:
- Patient is instructed to avoid any form of alcohol & certain drugs (sedatives, hypnotics, anitihistaminics, anti-vertigo medications etc.) minimum 72 hours (if not possible then minimum 48 hours) before the test.
- To avoid tea, coffee, or any stimulating drinks, chocolate & any form of smoking, tobacco etc. at least 2 hours prior to the test.
- Patient is instructed to take only a light meal/not eats for several hours before the test.
Validation of Report: Around 3 months (depends on advancing age & Pathological Conditions).
.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Intact/Normal intellectual Functioning level.
- Age range is generally adult population.
- Patient should stay in Eyes Open position during testing.
- Patient having Active Otorrhea, Impacted Cerumen/Debris in EAC, Anatomical Deformities (Aural Atresia/Stenosis), & any significant Outer and Middle Ear diseases is generally not a candidate for this test.
- Caloric VNG is not recommended in case of Perforated Tympanic Membrane or any significant Middle Ear diseases.
