Before you visit

Preparing for Your Vertigo Assessment

A little preparation can help the vertigo experts understand your symptoms and complete the required assessment efficiently.

Bring previous reports.

Carry previous hearing tests, vestibular reports, MRI/CT reports and prescriptions.

Bring your medicine list.

Bring a list or photo of current medicines; do not stop prescribed medication without advice.

Avoid eye makeup when advised.

Eye makeup can interfere with goggles used during eye-movement tests.

Wear comfortable clothing.

Some assessments involve standing, walking or controlled head and body movement.

Plan your return journey.

Assessments may temporarily reproduce dizziness; avoid driving and consider bringing a companion.

Do not take vestibular suppressant (vertigo medicine) before 6 hours.

These medicines can mask symptoms during tests.

When Dizziness May Require Emergency Care

Most episodes of vertigo are not medical emergencies. However, sudden dizziness or vertigo should not be treated as a routine clinic concern when it occurs with:

Numbness on one side of the body

Difficulty speaking or understanding speech

Sudden major vision changes

Loss of consciousness or fainting

A sudden unusual severe headache

Chest pain or severe breathlessness

Sudden inability to stand or walk

Sudden hearing loss

Seek urgent medical care or visit the nearest emergency department if these symptoms occur. Do not wait for a routine clinic appointment.

What happens during a DVA test? Is it uncomfortable?

During a DVA test, you are asked to identify visual information while your head is stationary and while it is moving. The test assesses how well your vision remains clear during head movement. It is non-invasive, although some people may experience temporary dizziness or discomfort during the assessment.

What do DVA test results mean?

DVA results show how well your visual system maintains clarity during head movement and can provide information about vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) function. Our specialist interprets the results along with your symptoms and other vestibular findings to determine whether further evaluation or rehabilitation may be needed.

What happens if my DVA test shows abnormal results?

An abnormal DVA result does not by itself identify the cause of your symptoms. A Vertigo Specialist may recommend additional vestibular tests or vestibular rehabilitation based on your symptoms and overall assessment.

How long does it take to improve after vestibular rehabilitation?

Improvement varies depending on the underlying vestibular condition, the severity of symptoms and how consistently exercises are performed. Your specialist or vestibular rehabilitation team can recommend a treatment plan and monitor your progress over time.
