Ears in Balance

Ears in Balance EARS IN BALANCE specialises in vertigo, dizziness and balance concerns Do you suffer from vertigo, dizziness or imbalance?

Ears in balance is a specialist clinic that is focused on the diagnoses and management of people with balance concerns. At Ears in Balance, we are able to assess the different structures of the inner ear that make up part of the balance system using comprehensive assessments that are based on the latest research in the field. We take a holistic approach to patient management that helps patients identify and better understand any life style factors that may contribute to their symptoms and what factors can help to promote recovery. We work in collaboration with specialists to determine the cause of the dizziness as well as create specialised management plans and provide ongoing support if required.

Did you know your balance system plays a crucial role in keeping your vision steady during head movements?

This is thanks to the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), one of the body’s most important balance reflexes—and one we can test using specialised goggles. If the VOR suddenly stops working on one side, it can cause a spinning sensation. If it stops working on both sides, your brain struggles to distinguish movement properly.

Why does this matter?
Because many vestibular disorders are invisible—symptoms like dizziness, disorientation, and imbalance often can’t be seen from the outside. By measuring the VOR, we can reveal what’s happening behind the scenes and make those hidden issues visible, so people can finally get answers and the right care.

Dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance can wreak havoc on lives. For Balance Awareness Week this week (14-20 September 2025), HPA asks four practitioners who specialise in vestibular disorders for an update on the field and how to bring a vestibular clinic to life.

During Balance Awareness Week we’re shedding light on the often invisible symptoms of vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance.But did you know these symptoms aren’t always invisible to vestibular audiologists - because we have our eye on your eyes. The eyes aren’t just windows to the soul, they’re also windows into your balance system. Subtle involuntary eye movements, often unnoticed by you, can be tracked in real time using specialised goggles. This advanced technology helps us pinpoint the underlying causes of dizziness and vertigo making invisible vestibular disorders visible so you can get the right care.Head to our website to learn more.

It’s Balance Awareness Week! So here is a sneak peak at some of the tests we’ll be exploring that assess your balance system. The vestibular (balance) system helps us sense motion and maintain balance effortlessly—without conscious thought.When something goes wrong, this invisible system can cause very real symptoms like dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, nausea, and disorientation—often without any outward signs. This can make it difficult to explain, diagnose, or even feel understood.That’s why raising awareness matters—and why we’re proud to support the work of VeDA (the Vestibular Disorders Association). VeDA provides education, resources, and a supportive community for people living with vestibular conditions, helping make the invisible visible and ensuring no one has to navigate it alone. Follow along this week to see how we test the balance system 👂🏻

A big thank you to Lavanya from the Mornington central Falls clinic for having me speak at today’s Journal Club. It was an honour to get to talk about the vestibular function tests we offer at Ears in Balance. Interdisciplinary communication is critical to ensuring a patient is getting the best care they can from diagnosis to management.

Hi 👋 I’m Jess. A vestibular audiologist and founder of Ears in Balance.

I have been working in the field of vestibular diagnostics for over 10 years. I love being part of a field that is constantly challenging our understanding of the different conditions that cause dizziness, vertigo and balance problems. However the best part of my job when someone feels heard and understood.

It can be time consuming and expensive to get a diagnosis when it comes to dizziness. I started Ears in Balance in 2015 to make vestibular function testing accessible to everyone. We do require a medical referral but there are no out of pocket costs.
