VEMP (Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials)

VEMP testing is used to diagnose some uncommon disorders of balance.

How the test is performed

A surface electrode is placed on your neck and you will be asked to turn your head to one side. Sounds will be delivered to your ear and how your brain responds to these sounds will be measured.

This test does not hurt and you will feel no aftereffects.
