What to Expect: VNG Test

Dallas Ear Institute's audiologists demonstrate and describe what to expect during a common vestibular evaluation called videonystagmography (VNG). VNGs are used to evaluate the inner ear balance systems and their associated nerve pathways.

No words for this test! I couldn’t finish it..I only made it passed the warm air in my right ear, I got so dizzy I had to stop the test. I barely made it home and hours later I am STILL nauseous and dizzy! Do not go alone.

The air part was horrible, I got so dizzy with vertigo and sick, and even puked. I felt bad for hours after, and the next day my ear still feels weird. I was better with my light dizziness before the test. If you can avoid it, don’t do it!!! If you have to, I recommend an afternoon appointment so you don’t have to go to work afterward all messed up.

Had this last week. Other tests were fine, but when I had my eyes covered and air blown in my ears, I got so goddamn sick it's not even funny. A week later, I'm still having terrible symptoms from the testing, more than the vertigo I've been experiencing before for nearly 10 months.

Have not gotten my results yet, but I can go my entire life without doing this ever again.

HELP ME PLEASE! I would like to ask what do I have to buy along with Frenzel goggles in order to have screening and evaluation, what application do I have to install in order to give me some values, and what is the tool that blows the air into the ear canal? Thanks in advance 😀
