If you or a loved one often experiences dizziness or vertigo and is looking for answers, you might be wondering, “Are there vertigo doctors near me?”
The answer and solutions to your dizziness and vertigo can be found at any of the four Utah Ear Institute audiology and balance clinics located in Bountiful, Tooele, Park City, and West Valley City. Our expertise combined with state-of-the-art technology allows us to conduct simple, non-invasive tests that lead to the diagnosis and treatment of dizziness and vertigo.

Diagnosing Vertigo
Diagnosing vertigo includes hearing and/or balance testing in order to determine the functional state of the vestibular system
ENG & 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.
Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT)
Your audiologist could use vHIT to measure your vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). When working properly, head movements are accompanied by equal and opposite eye movements (VORs) while limited reactions help pinpoint the cause of your imbalance.

Treatment for Vertigo
Although symptoms often resolve spontaneously or without treatment, dizziness treatment and vertigo therapy might include
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.
