Did you know your hearing and balance are closely connected?

This is a hearing test (audiometry) — a simple, painless way to measure how well you hear different sounds and pitches. Because the inner ear houses both your hearing and balance systems, changes in one often impact the other.

That’s why at Southwest Balance & Dizziness, we don’t just test balance — we look at the full picture of your inner ear health.

If you’ve been dealing with dizziness and notice changes in your hearing, it’s time for a complete evaluation. Your ears may be telling you more than you think.

Do you or a loved one feel like the room is spinning when rolling over in bed or look up too quickly?

That could be BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) — and this simple test helps us find out.

What you see here is the Dix-Hallpike maneuver. By gently positioning the head and observing the eyes, we can determine whether inner ear crystals (otoconia) have moved out of place — a common cause of sudden, spinning dizziness.

The good news: once identified, BPPV is very treatable, often with just a few guided repositioning exercises. Relief can come faster than you think.

If you’ve been struggling with vertigo, don’t wait. Call us today to schedule your evaluation and take your first step back to steady.

Ever wonder why we use goggles during balance testing?

What you’re seeing here is a videonystagmography (VNG) test. These special infrared goggles record tiny, involuntary eye movements that help us understand how your inner ear and brain are working together to keep you balanced.

Why does it matter? Because dizziness and vertigo often start in the vestibular system (your inner ear), and the eyes give us important clues about what’s really going on.

The best part: once we pinpoint the cause, we can design a treatment plan tailored just for you.

You Heard It… But It Didn’t Make Sense

When someone speaks and you hear the words, but your brain scrambles the meaning — that’s Auditory Processing Disorder (APD).

Kids may be unfairly labeled as “bad listeners” or “daydreamers.”
Adults might say, “I just can’t focus in noisy places.”

The truth? It’s not about effort — it’s about how your brain processes sound.

At Southwest Balance, Dizziness & Ear Institute, we provide advanced testing and real strategies to help kids and adults thrive with APD.

Ever felt like conversations sound muffled, even when people are speaking clearly?

It might not be your friends mumbling… it could be your hearing.

A quick hearing test can tell you if it’s time for support—because life is too short to keep saying, "What?"

The Right Fit Changes Everything — in shoes and in hearing.

Just like wearing shoes that are too big makes every step awkward, wearing the wrong hearing aids can make every sound feel off.

Hearing aids aren’t one-size-fits-all — and they shouldn’t be. A proper hearing aid fitting ensures you’re hearing life again, not just noise.

Our audiologists specialize in custom fittings and programming so you can enjoy crystal-clear conversations, music, and the moments that matter.

Experience the comfort of a perfect fit. Call 602-265-9000 or visit www.swbetterbalance.com.

It's Story Time! Your Brain Tells a Story — Are You Listening?

Brain fog. Slow reaction time. Trouble remembering names.
When these symptoms are paired with dizziness or hearing changes, they can point to a deeper connection between your brain and balance system.

That’s why we offer Cognivue neuropsychological testing — a quick, non-invasive way to assess your cognitive health and help create a plan to keep you sharp, steady, and confident.
