Ever felt like the ground is shifting under your feet, even when you’re standing still? Or like you’ve just stepped off a merry-go-round that wasn’t nearly as fun?
Yeah, that’s vertigo — and if you’ve experienced it, you know it’s no joke.
At Resonance Speech and Hearing Clinic, we believe no one should have to “just live with it” or be told it’s all in their head. Especially when we have the tools (and the heart) to find real answers.
What Exactly Is Vertigo? (And Why It’s More Common Than You Think)
Vertigo isn’t just feeling a little dizzy after spinning around with your kid or twirling in a chair. It’s a true sensation of movement — spinning, tilting, or swaying — even when you’re perfectly still.
Think about being on a boat in rough water, only you’re standing in your own living room. Fun, right? (Not.)
It can be caused by issues in the inner ear, brain, or even the sensory nerves. But here’s the kicker: because vertigo symptoms overlap with so many other conditions, it’s easy to misdiagnose — unless you know exactly what you’re looking for.
Diagnosing Vertigo: It’s Not Just Guesswork Anymore
There was a time when vertigo diagnosis felt a little like guessing which cup the marble is under. A lot of “maybe it’s this, maybe it’s that” — and meanwhile, patients kept feeling miserable.
Not anymore.
At Resonance, we use high-tech systems that don’t just look for clues; they show us exactly where the problem lies.
Because when it comes to something as unsettling as vertigo, guessing just isn’t good enough. You need clarity. You need precision.
High-Tech Tools We Trust at Resonance
Here’s where it gets interesting. When you walk into Resonance for vertigo assessment, it’s like stepping into a diagnostic command center — but one that feels more spa-day than sci-fi.
Some of the heavy hitters in our toolkit:
- Video Nystagmography (VNG): Measures tiny, rapid eye movements (nystagmus) that tell us what your vestibular (balance) system is up to. It’s like your inner ear’s way of sending an SOS.
- Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT): Checks how your eyes react to quick head movements. Trust me — your reflexes spill a lot of secrets!
- Computerized Posturography: This one’s cool — you stand on a special platform that shifts gently, while sensors track how your body tries to stay balanced. It’s kind of like your body’s very own stability scorecard.
These tools aren’t here to overwhelm you — they’re here to guide us, like flashlights in the dark.
Why Precise Testing Matters: More Than Just a Fancy Machine
You know what?
When it comes to vertigo, an inaccurate diagnosis can feel worse than the vertigo itself. Like trying to find your way out of a pitch-black maze, but someone handed you the wrong map.
Precise testing means:
- Fewer wrong turns.
- Faster relief.
- The right treatment, from the get-go.
And honestly, when you’re tired of feeling like the world’s spinning out from under you, you don’t want “trial and error.” You want a game plan — and a team that sticks with you till you’re steady again.
The Resonance Difference: It’s About People and Precision
Now, here’s the thing:
Having the fanciest equipment doesn’t mean much without people who actually know how to use it — and who genuinely care about you.
At Resonance Clinic, we marry high-tech tools with high-touch care. Our team doesn’t just “run tests.” We listen. We ask about the times you felt dizzy carrying groceries, or how you’re scared to climb stairs now. Every story matters because it paints the full picture.
And honestly? That human connection — that real, face-to-face understanding — is what sets Resonance apart.
So, What Should You Expect During a Visit?
Walking into Resonance isn’t like walking into a cold, clinical lab where no one smiles. We believe healthcare should be welcoming. Comfortable. Maybe even a little…fun? (We said it!)
Here’s a little sneak peek:
- A warm hello from our front desk — no clipboards shoved in your face.
- An easy conversation with your audiologist or specialist, explaining what’s going on without making you feel lost.
- Gentle, non-invasive tests where you stay fully clothed and comfortable.
- Immediate feedback and a game plan — not vague “We’ll call you next week” vibes.
And if you’ve got questions? You can ask away. We’re all ears (pun totally intended).
