Wessex Dizziness and Hearing Ltd continues to provide comprehensive audiovestibular testing delivered by an experienced specialist audiologist with more than 16 years of clinical experience across both NHS and private healthcare settings.
Our audiologist has extensive experience in specialist audiovestibular diagnostics and has worked at senior and lead level within UK audiology services, including responsibility for managing a comprehensive audiology service in London and supporting and mentoring other audiologists.
The service provides specialist assessment for people experiencing hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness, vertigo and balance difficulties. We have particular expertise in assessing vestibular disorders, including Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD), and conditions such as Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence (SSCD), alongside other peripheral and central causes of dizziness and imbalance.
Our audiovestibular service includes specialist hearing and balance investigations, with testing selected according to the individual's symptoms and clinical requirements. Where appropriate, this may include pure-tone audiometry, tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions, videonystagmography (VNG), video Head Impulse Testing (vHIT), caloric testing and Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMPs).
In addition to diagnostic assessment, our specialist audiologist has considerable experience in vestibular rehabilitation, supporting patients with persistent dizziness, imbalance and visual or movement-related symptoms. The service also provides support for patients experiencing tinnitus and hearing-related difficulties.
At Wessex Dizziness and Hearing Ltd, audiovestibular testing forms part of a multidisciplinary approach to dizziness, hearing and balance disorders. Where appropriate, test findings are integrated with specialist medical assessment, allowing results to be interpreted within the patient's wider clinical history rather than considered in isolation.
This combined approach enables us to provide high-quality, evidence-informed and patient-centred assessment, diagnosis and management for people experiencing dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, hearing loss and tinnitus.
