In the Spotlight
One of our principal investigators, Dr. Courtney Hall, has partnered with other researchers and software developers to evaluate an app for computers and tablets used for at-home vestibular rehab. This study intends to help adults suffering from dizziness by offering an easily accessible therapy program with instructional exercises meant to improve the quality of life.
Noise Exposure
Have you been exposed to noise? This could be from your work, hobbies, yard work, etc. We are looking for volunteers to help us explore the impact of prior noise exposure on the vestibular system. This study requires completion of a variety of tests, including, but not limited to: hearing tests, vestibular (inner ear balance) tests performed by a licensed audiologist, and gait and balance testing performed by a licensed physical therapist.
