Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
Testing for vestibular dysfunction often induces dizziness and nausea, to the point that
testing cannot be completed. The investigators will use a "transcranial vibration system"
that has shown promise in improving comfort during testing for vestibular disorders.

The investigators hypothesize that with this "transcranial vibration system", the dizziness
and nausea associated with caloric testing will be significantly reduced, while the clinical
measures derived from the test will not be statistically significantly altered.


Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject can speak and comprehend English.

2. Subject can stand a strap placed on their head for an hour.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of head injury within the last six months

2. Presence of severe aphasia

3. History of diagnosed neuropsychiatric disorders

4. Documented neurodegenerative disorders

5. Pregnancy [Female candidates will be asked if they are pregnant]

6. History of Cerebrovascular disorders

7. History of ear operation other than myringotomy and tube placement in the past
