BUFFALO MEDICAL GROUP, P.C. - SATELLITE LOCATION

Buffalo Medical Group offers a full range of audiological services including complete hearing assessments, balance or vestibular evaluations, auditory nerve assessments, and hearing aid evaluations and fittings. The services are provided under the guidance of three clinical audiologists, two of whom are doctors of audiology. All of the clinicians have extensive training, expertise and experience treating audiological problems, and work closely with BMG otolaryngologists (ear, nose and throat specialists).

Comprehensive hearing assessments include an audiogram and middle ear exams or impedance audiometry that is used to evaluate the type and degree of a patient’s hearing loss. Balance or vestibular testing consists of Video-Electronystagmography (VNG), which is the gold standard for diagnosing patients who have vertigo related symptoms. Such symptoms often are seen in patients with labyrinthitis, motion sickness, migraine headaches, or the most common type of vertigo in mature adults, Benign Paroxysmal Positioning Vertigo (BPPV). This condition is treated with the canalith repositioning procedure performed by an audiologist. An Electrocochleargram (ECOG) exam will help rule out Meniere’s Disease or Endolymphatic Hydrops, which have vertigo related symptoms.
