Balance Disorders Program

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s Balance Disorders Program offers state of the art diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for patients with vestibular dysfunction (ear-related dizziness).

Diagnostic testing includes audiograms, videonystagmography (VNG), and vestibular myogenic evoked potentials (VEMP). Specialized vestibular rehabilitation services are also available through OSU's outpatient P.T. department.
