The vestibular clinical assessment consists of a series of tests and examinations used to understand and diagnose patients’ balance system-related issues. This evaluation focuses on examining structures and functions related to balance, such as the inner ear, brainstem, and cerebellum. The vestibular clinical assessment process generally includes the following steps:

Evaluation of Patient History:

Symptom Identification: A detailed inquiry into symptoms such as dizziness, imbalance, vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss.Onset and Duration of Symptoms: Examination of when the symptoms started, their duration, triggers, and intensity.Medication and Medical History: Evaluation of the patient’s current and past medications, chronic diseases, previous infections, or traumas.

Physical Examination:

Examination of Eye Movements: Assessment for nystagmus (involuntary eye movements), which may indicate a disorder in the central or peripheral vestibular system. Head Rotation Tests: Observation of eye movements when the head is turned in various directions. These tests can help detect asymmetries in the vestibular system. Dix-Hallpike Maneuver: A test performed when positional vertigo (e.g., benign paroxysmal positional vertigo – BPPV) is suspected. It checks for vertigo and nystagmus when the patient’s head is positioned in specific ways.

Vestibular Tests:

VNG (Videonystagmography): Evaluation of balance functions of the inner ear and central nervous system by monitoring eye movements. VEMP (Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials): Measurement of the contraction response of the sternocleidomastoid muscle with auditory stimuli. This test assesses the saccule (a part of the inner ear) and vestibulospinal reflex pathways.Caloric Test: Evaluation of the vestibular system function in both ears by applying cold and warm water or air to the inner ear.Posturography: A test measuring how balance is maintained in static and dynamic states. It evaluates the balance system while the patient stands on various surfaces.

Hearing Tests:

Audiometry: A test that evaluates hearing levels and can detect hearing loss, which may be associated with vestibular problems. Tympanometry: Measures middle ear pressure, assessing the mobility of the eardrum and middle ear function.

Imaging Techniques:

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or CT (Computed Tomography): Used to examine structures such as the inner ear, brainstem, and cerebellum in detail.

Treatment Plan Development:

Rehabilitation Programs: Vestibular rehabilitation may include physical therapies and exercises to help patients manage balance issues. Medication Therapy: Medications may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms or treat the underlying cause.Surgical Intervention: In severe cases, surgical interventions may be required.Vestibular clinical assessment helps identify the source of an individual’s balance problems and enables the determination of appropriate treatment options.

1-I had a nose surgery, there was no pressure problem with the device that was attached, when the tampon was removed I could breathe 100% from both noses, now it is completely open 2-The girl had an ear surgery. She was constantly sick because of her ear and was using antibiotics. She also had hearing problems. A tube was inserted. She has not been sick since that day, we got over a few coughs without antibiotics for the first time. She could hear well even the day after the surgery. In the first measurements, it was said that half of her hearing problem was gone. Now we are waiting for the 3-month check-up. But we do not have any problems with hearing. Thank you very much

I had a nose surgery 6 months ago with my doctor Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz. The pre- and post-operation was very comfortable. The operation was better than I thought. I received very positive comments from those around me. You can trust your doctor and his team with peace of mind. Thank you Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz.

About 10 months ago, Dr. Deniz performed my nose surgery. I wanted to wait a while to comment. First of all, it was a difficult surgery for me to decide, because I was very afraid of the surgery. I made my decision by considering the comments here. The surgery process went better than I expected. I had no pain or bruising, but I had a lot of swelling due to my nose skin. My nose has recently gotten rid of the swelling and settled down. I went there mostly for aesthetic purposes, but now I can breathe much better. I was very pleased with both Dr. Deniz's interest and sincerity, and the healthy and beautiful result we got. I think those who are undecided and those who have fears like me can trust Dr. Deniz with peace of mind.

I have been having serious difficulties breathing for a long time due to nasal congestion. My nasal passages were almost completely blocked. As a result of my detailed research, Prof. Dr. I had the opportunity to meet Mehmet Deniz Yılmaz. From the first examination, his professionalism, knowledge and sincere approach gave me great confidence. My surgery was extremely successful. The discomforts I experienced due to polyps have completely disappeared. I can breathe easily now. I cannot thank the doctor and his team enough. I would like to thank each and every one of them for their care and attention during this process.Prof. Dr. I recommend Mehmet Deniz Yılmaz and his team wholeheartedly.Thank you, dear Doctor. Thank you very much 🙏🏻

When it comes to the teacher, he is the best in Antalya. How many places have I been to, how many doctors have I seen, what have I suffered over the years? Many doctors in Ankara, Istanbul, Antalya, none of them could even provide relief. May God bless my teacher Mustafa. We found him on the ground while looking for him in the sky. I recommend him to everyone with Meniere's disease.

My wife had apnea and snoring problems. Before Mustafa, other doctors said that about 5 different surgeries would need to be performed. We were worried and searched for another doctor. Looking at the comments here, we trusted Mustafa Hodja. Thank God, he said about 3 months ago that only closed nose surgery would be enough, and over time, the apnea would go away on its own. The surgery lasted 2.5 hours. My wife was discharged in the evening. There was no bruise or swelling on her face. She recovered within a week and returned to work. Meanwhile, his snoring decreased significantly and his apnea disappeared. Well done to our teacher. He is a very professional doctor and we recommend him to everyone.

My teacher Mustafa came across it while researching on the internet. I had a unilateral parotid tumor, the other doctors I went to scared me so much, that's why I was avoiding surgery for two years. I read the comments of my teacher Mustafa and the fact that he operated on a patient like me made me more comfortable. I had surgery on March 7. I am very glad that I met my teacher Mustafa and came across him. May God bless him, I recommend him to everyone.

As a result of the hearing test performed at a Private Hospital I went to, I was told that I had hearing loss due to arthritis in my ear and that I needed to use a hearing aid. When I asked if there was another treatment for this, the answer given was that the only solution was hearing aids. This result did not satisfy me, so I wanted to research the best ENT Doctor in Antalya on the internet. The first name I came across was Prof. Dr. Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz was my teacher. As a result of our preliminary meeting with him and professional hearing tests, he stated that I would regain my hearing with the Otosclerosis Surgery he would perform without using a device. As a result of the trust given by my doctor, I decided to have surgery. My surgery went very well, my quality of life improved because I can hear very well now. I would like to thank my esteemed teacher and his valuable team for their interest and concern during this period. Definitely benefit from my valuable teacher's experiences, you will never regret it...

With hearing loss due to vertigo, I went to Mustafa Bey's clinic as a result of his advice and research on the internet. As a result of the treatment, I regained my hearing. Another hospital said that you will get a hearing aid and there is nothing to do after that. I would like to thank him very much from here. The staff is excellent, they are all smiling and kind people. I'm glad I came across this place. If you have such problems, be sure to go to Mr. Mustafa and his team without wasting your time looking for other places.

I am Ferah Emirdar, one side of my nostril was closed, I could hardly breathe, I was acting aggressively, the sinusitis I had been suffering from for years was a separate problem. When I went for the examination, I made my decision, I had the surgery, it was very successful and not what I feared. The first thing I said after removing the tampon was, "Are you breathing like this?" I became a calm person, my sleep improved, I fell asleep immediately, I had no nerves left because I slept well, and my sinusitis and nasal congestion were gone. I would like to thank your patience and team during this process. I am also happy to have met you.
