Common symptoms of a balance disorder

• Vertigo (sense of motion or spinning)
• Feeling of faintness or light-headedness
• Loss of balance or unsteadiness
• Falling or feeling like you might fall
• Feeling a floating sensation or dizziness
• Vision changes, such as blurriness
• Confusion
   

At your first appointment the audiologist will discuss your balance symptoms, take a medical history and perform various balance assessments. The type of assessment carried out will be based on your individual symptoms and health status and as a result not everyone will require every test.
