Wondering If It’s Time for a Balance Assessment?

Dizziness and balance problems don’t always have an obvious cause — and they’re rarely just “one of those things.” If left unassessed, vestibular disorders can affect your confidence, independence, and safety.

If any of these sound familiar, a balance assessment may be right for you:

  • Frequent dizziness, spinning sensations, or vertigo

  • Feeling unsteady on your feet or losing your balance unexpectedly

  • Blurred or jumpy vision when moving your head

  • Nausea, motion sickness, or sensitivity to movement

  • A ringing or fullness in the ear alongside dizziness

  • Dizziness that worsens with head or body position changes

  • Increased risk of falls, especially in low-light conditions

These symptoms are more common than people realise — and they often have a treatable cause. A professional vestibular assessment can uncover what’s driving your symptoms and help you take the next step toward stability and confidence.

What Is the Vestibular System?

Your vestibular system, located in the inner ear, is responsible for your sense of balance, spatial orientation, and gaze stability. When this system is disrupted — by infection, injury, degeneration, or other causes — everyday activities like walking, driving, or even sitting still can feel overwhelming.

At Candid Hearing, our audiologists are trained to evaluate the vestibular system using a suite of clinically validated, non-invasive tests. Our assessments help distinguish between different types of balance disorders, so you get answers quickly and accurately.

Why Choose a Qualified Audiologist for Balance Testing?

At Candid Hearing, we go beyond a basic balance check. As independent audiologists, we offer comprehensive vestibular assessments that support accurate diagnosis and targeted management.

When you book a vestibular assessment with us, you’ll receive:

  • A thorough, clinically backed evaluation of your inner ear balance function

  • Expert interpretation of your results in plain language

  • Personalised recommendations — whether that means vestibular rehabilitation, lifestyle guidance, or referral to your GP, ENT, or neurologist

  • Early identification of conditions such as BPPV, Menière’s disease, or vestibular neuritis

  • A written report available for your referring practitioner

Our assessments are tailored to your history, symptoms, and health goals — because no two cases of dizziness are the same.
