VNG Referral Coordination

Videonystagmography (VNG) is the gold standard test for evaluating your balance system. Infrared cameras in lightweight goggles track your eye movements to reveal how well your vestibular system is functioning.

• Non-invasive and provides objective, measurable data
• Determines if symptoms originate from the inner ear, brain, or elsewhere
• Enables targeted, effective treatment

AuDSLP does not perform VNG testing on-site. We coordinate referrals to our trusted sister practice in Belleville, NJ, which specializes in vestibular diagnostics.

• Step 1: Dr. Boiselle evaluates your symptoms and determines if VNG testing is clinically indicated
• Step 2: We coordinate the referral and scheduling with our sister practice in Belleville
• Step 3: You complete VNG testing at the Belleville location
• Step 4: Results are sent back to AuDSLP, and Dr. Boiselle integrates findings into your care plan

• BPPV: Brief, intense spinning with certain head movements
• Vestibular Neuritis: Sudden, severe vertigo from inner ear infection
• Meniere's Disease: Episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus
• Vestibular Migraine: Vertigo with or without headache
• Central Disorders: Balance issues from stroke, MS, or acoustic neuroma

The VNG appointment takes place at our sister practice in Belleville, NJ. Here's how to prepare:

• 48 hours before: Stop vestibular medications (meclizine, Dramamine, Valium) unless your doctor says otherwise. Avoid alcohol and sedatives.
• Day of test: No caffeine. Eat a light meal 2 hours before. No eye makeup or mascara.
• Bring: Medication list, referral if applicable, and a driver (you will feel temporarily dizzy after).
• After testing: Results are sent directly to Dr. Boiselle at AuDSLP for review and follow-up care.
