Support for Dizziness, Balance and Inner Ear Concerns
Dizziness and imbalance can feel unsettling. Vestibular audiology helps assess whether the inner ear or hearing system may be contributing, so you can receive clearer guidance on the next step.
Vestibular care starts by organising the symptom pattern.
Dizziness is not one diagnosis. The appointment considers the history, hearing and ear-related findings, available vestibular assessment routes and whether another medical or rehabilitation pathway is needed.
Who this is for
People experiencing vertigo, imbalance, motion-related symptoms, unsteadiness or dizziness that may involve the hearing or balance system.
What may be assessed
The case history, ear and hearing status, symptom triggers and clinically appropriate balance-related measures are selected according to the concern and available scope.
What to bring
Bring a medication list, previous ENT, neurology, hearing or balance reports, a symptom timeline and details of falls or near-falls.
What happens next
Findings may lead to further vestibular testing, hearing care, medical referral, rehabilitation guidance or another specialist pathway where appropriate.
What are you experiencing?
You do not need to know whether it is vestibular before contacting us. Start with what you are feeling and we will guide you.
I feel dizzy
Dizziness can have different causes, and vestibular audiology may help clarify whether the inner ear is involved.
I feel off-balance
Balance concerns may be linked to the ear, hearing system or other systems that need referral.
I feel spinning sensations
Spinning or movement-related symptoms can be discussed during a structured case history and assessment.
I feel unsteady walking
Unsteadiness can affect confidence and daily movement. Assessment can help guide the next step.
I get dizzy with movement
Movement sensitivity may be related to balance processing and should be assessed carefully.
I am not sure if it is my ears
That is exactly why assessment and guidance can be helpful.
Dizziness can be unsettling. A structured vestibular assessment can help clarify whether the inner ear may be involved.
We explain findings clearly and guide you on whether further audiology care, monitoring or referral is appropriate.
and balance
Your inner ear plays an important role in balance
The vestibular system forms part of the inner ear and helps the body understand movement and position. When this system is not working as expected, people may feel dizzy, unsteady, sensitive to movement or unsure of their balance.
Vestibular audiology looks at the ear and balance-related symptoms as part of a wider clinical picture.

Frequently asked questions
What is vestibular audiology?
It is audiology care that considers dizziness, balance and inner ear-related symptoms.
Is dizziness always caused by the ear?
No. Dizziness can have different causes. Assessment helps guide whether the ear may be involved or whether referral is needed.
Do I need an ENT referral?
You can contact us directly. If ENT input is appropriate, we will guide you.
Can hearing and balance be related?
Yes. The hearing and balance organs are both located in the inner ear, so some symptoms may overlap.
