What Is VNG Testing and Do I Need It?

A Guide for Patients in Carmel, IN Who Are Dizzy, Disoriented, or Still Searching for Answers

If you’ve been dealing with dizziness, unexplained falls, or post-concussion symptoms — and you’ve already been told “your MRI looks normal” or “it’s probably just stress” — it might be time to look deeper.
That’s where VNG testing comes in.

🧠 What Is VNG?

VNG stands for Videonystagmography, which is a non-invasive, advanced test that measures how your eyes and brain respond to movement, balance, and positioning.

In plain English?
It’s a way to see if your brain, ears, and eyes are communicating properly.
It helps us figure out why you’re dizzy, off balance, or feeling like you’re living on a tilt-a-whirl.

👁 How Does the Test Work?

During a VNG test, you’ll wear special goggles that track your eye movements.
You’ll go through a series of visual and physical tasks — like following a light, turning your head, or lying in certain positions.

This helps us evaluate:

Vestibular function (your inner ear’s balance center)
Oculomotor control (how your eyes respond to movement)
Brain-based processing (how well your brain is interpreting signals from your body)

It’s safe, painless, and doesn’t require sedation or radiation.

🧭 Who Needs VNG Testing?

VNG is incredibly helpful if you’ve been experiencing:

Dizziness or lightheadedness
Vertigo or spinning sensations
Balance problems or unexplained falls
Trouble walking in a straight line
Brain fog or disorientation
Nausea or motion sensitivity
Symptoms following a concussion, car accident, or sports injury

Many patients in Carmel, Westfield, and Fishers come to us after they’ve bounced between ENT doctors, primary care providers, neurologists, and physical therapists — still with no answers.
