• What's wrong with me?
• What can be done to cure it?
• What are the options?
• When will I feel better?

And that's where we come in.

Our range of neuro-otologic diagnostic devices can give your doctor fast, accurate results that enable him or her to understand your situation and then determine a course of treatment that is realistic and appropriate.

What's more, utilizing our devices can help you avoid time-wasting and unnecessary procedures that may not provide real answers. For example, many patients who complain about dizziness are sent for several MRI examinations. And while one MRI exam may be necessary, subsequent tests often provide no additional insight at all.
So how can the individual patient, like you, put our devices and testing procedures to work?

First, arm yourself with knowledge. Below are links to a external Web sites that offer a wealth of information about the human neurologic, otologic and ophthalmologic systems. We invite you to spend some time reviewing these sites to better prepare yourself to speak to your doctor about a new approach to testing.

And then, do ask your doctor: Is neuro-otologic or vestibular testing appropriate for me? How can we make it happen?
