If you are experiencing episodes of dizziness or vertigo and looking for answers, you might be wondering, “Are there vertigo doctors near me?”
Fortunately, the solution to your dizziness and vertigo is available at Denton Hearing Health Care. Our doctors of audiology combine our expertise with state-of-the-art technology in order to provide simple, non-invasive tests that lead to the diagnosis and treatment of dizziness and vertigo.
Diagnosing Vertigo
Diagnosing vertigo or dizziness involves hearing and balance testing to determine the functional state of the vestibular system as well as how it coordinates with the other systems in your body that help you maintain your balance. Testing might include:
ENG and VNG Tests
These tests help us evaluate how your visual system is coordinating with your other balance systems. Electronystagmography (ENG) uses electrodes to record eye movements while the videonystagmography (VNG) version uses small cameras to record eye movements.
Rotary Chair Test
This test helps your audiologist measure the severity of your dizziness caused by the viewing of moving stripes and nystagmus (involuntary eye movement) during rotation. It involves seating you in a motorized chair that swivels from side to side and rotates at a controlled rate.
Computerized Dynamic Posturography
This test evaluates how well your inner ears, eyes, and the body’s muscles and joints work together to help you maintain your balance. It includes standing on a force-sensing surface with the support of a harness while being subjected to a movable visual surround.
VEMP Test
Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) tests help identify vestibular lesions that can contribute to balance issues. After attaching sensor pads to your neck, forehead, and under your eyes, we are able to measure each minute muscle contraction as you react to different sounds.

Treatments for Vertigo
Canalith Repositioning
Used to treat BPPV, canalith repositioning helps remove the otoconia from the semicircular canal and return them to the utricle. Successful in treating 95% of cases, treatment takes only minutes and requires no more than 3-4 visits.
Medications
Beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin or serotonin/ norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs or SNRIs), topiramate, and others can be prescribed to ease the dizziness, vertigo, or motion sickness associated with MdDS as well as other medications to address the buildup of pressure related to Méniére’s disease.
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)
The most common treatment used to address vertigo is VRT, or vestibular rehabilitation therapy, which involves manual head maneuvers and/or a progressive program of exercises designed to decrease the symptoms of vertigo, help overcome visual issues, and protect patients against falls related to imbalance.

Great people, easy to work with and easily available. I’m glad I got my hearing aids and that I was patient enough to get accustomed to them. I very seldom have to ask people, especially my grands, to repeat themselves anymore.
