Electronystagmography: a review of 17 years experience

The clinical concepts of electronystagmography (ENG) and vestibular testing are simple. They are not mysterious, complicated, nor time consuming. Every patient afflicted with dizziness deserves such a recording as part of the vestibular workup. No one would consider the evaluation of a patient with a hearing loss complete without an audiogram, and in 1975 no patient with a complaint of dysequilibrium has been properly or sufficiently evaluated without an ENG recording of balance function.
