Cochleo-Vestibular Lab in Hyderabad for advanced hearing, vertigo and balance testing at MicroCare ENT Super Speciality Hospital

What is the Cochleo-Vestibular System?

The cochleo-vestibular system is located within the inner ear and comprises two main components:

Cochlea – Responsible for detecting sound and transmitting auditory signals to the brain.

Vestibular Apparatus – Maintains balance and spatial orientation through the semicircular canals, utricle, and saccule Cochleo Vestibular Lab in Hyderabad

This system is tightly integrated with the auditory nerve (vestibulocochlear nerve / cranial nerve VIII), which sends both sound and balance signals to the brain for interpretation.

Why is Cochleo-Vestibular Testing Important?

Disorders of the inner ear can cause a wide range of symptoms including:

Sudden or gradual hearing loss

Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)

Dizziness or spinning sensation (vertigo)

Unsteady gait or loss of balance

Visual disturbances during movement

Cochleo-vestibular testing helps identify whether these symptoms originate from the inner ear, auditory nerve, or central nervous system.

Who Needs Cochleo-Vestibular Evaluation?

This diagnostic testing is recommended for patients with:

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss

Recurrent or persistent vertigo

Suspected Meniere’s disease or vestibular neuritis

Imbalance without a clear cause

Suspected acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma)

Tinnitus evaluation

Pre-operative and post-operative ear surgery assessment

Advanced Diagnostics at MicroCare ENT Cochleo-Vestibular Lab

Our lab is equipped with cutting-edge tools for both audiological and vestibular assessments:

Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA)

Evaluates hearing thresholds across different frequencies to determine the type and degree of hearing loss.

Tympanometry & Acoustic Reflex Testing

Assesses middle ear function, including eardrum mobility and reflexes of the auditory pathway.

Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)

Measures the response of outer hair cells in the cochlea, useful for screening newborns or identifying early cochlear damage.

Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR)

Analyses the neural pathways from the cochlea to the brainstem to detect issues in auditory nerve conduction.

Videonystagmography (VNG)

Assesses involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) to evaluate balance function. Helps detect central vs. peripheral causes of vertigo.

Electrocochleography (ECoG)

Used for diagnosing Meniere’s disease by measuring electrical potentials in the cochlea.

Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP)

Evaluates the function of otolith organs (utricle and saccule), which play a role in balance.

Caloric Testing

Stimulates each ear individually with warm and cold air or water to assess the responsiveness of the vestibular system.

Rotary Chair Testing

Used in specific cases to evaluate how the brain responds to motion input from the semicircular canals.
