Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do before taking the vHIT test?

You have nothing to worry about before your vHIT test since it does not hurt and is simple. Do not apply any eye makeup and make your hair neat to prevent the goggles from getting dirty during the test. Put on outfits that allow you to move with ease. Before starting the test, tell your doctor if you have any issues with your neck. As you are being tested, you’ll have to wear special goggles that monitor your eyes while your head is slowly moved, so control your nerves for the best results.

After the test, your doctor will review the results to see how well your eyes and inner ear work together. If everything looks normal, no further action is needed. If a balance issue is found, your doctor may suggest treatments and/or exercises to help improve it. Since the test is quick and painless, you can usually go back to your normal activities right away.

The vHIT test measures how well your vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) works. This reflex helps keep your vision steady by stopping it from jerking when your head moves. During the test, your eye movements are tracked with goggles while your head is gently turned. If your eyes move correctly, it means your inner ear balance system is functioning properly. If not, it might indicate a balance problem to watch.

If there is a balance problem found, treatment usually involves VRT, workout exercises that are meant to help your brain improve its balance abilities. At times, doctors could give you medicine or treatment to lessen dizziness and make you feel more steady so you can continue with your normal activities.

Yes, the vHIT test is safe for people of all ages, including teenagers. It’s a quick, non-invasive procedure that doesn’t cause pain or injury. Doctors use it to assess how well the balance system is working, which is especially helpful if you experience dizziness or balance issues.
