About this clinic

Patients are referred to the Audio-Vestibular Diagnostic Clinic by an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctor to determine the function of the hearing and/or vestibular (balance) organs. We use various tests to assess different components of the auditory and vestibular system. The Vestibular testing offered at the clinic includes Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT), Videonystagmography (Oculomotor, Positioning/Positional, Calorics), and Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMPs). Patients may be referred for one or more tests depending on what is required by the referring ENT or audiologist.  

Clinic hours

Monday to Friday
8:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m.

Closed 12:00 p.m. — 1:00 p.m. for lunch.

Members of the Audiology department participate in research in the fields of hearing, balance, tinnitus and cochlear implants.

Advances in treatments are all thanks to medical research. While participating in research is a decision you should make for yourself in consultation with your care team, there is much activity in this area so please ask us about our research programs if you’re interested.

By taking part in research, you can help us all learn more about advancing health outcomes and find better ways to help people live and thrive. While you cannot assume benefit to yourself, your participation can make a difference in improving care for future patients.

The following clinical trials are currently enrolling volunteers. Please ask your care team for more information or contact the research team listed on each study or trial. For other information about research at Providence Health Care, please visit Providence Research.
