Does anyone know if it is true that some insurance companies wont cover the VNG test due to it's unreliable? My current ENT wants me to repeat this test. I have already had the test at the last ENT I went to when this all started. My current neurologist has suggested I'm a fall risk. With tinnitus has anyone had a clicking sound If so is there a way to control it? Out of all the symptoms that one is driving me crazy.
As long as you get prior authorization you should be ok with the repeat test. As far as the clicking, no but I've had just about every other sound from jets to CRT TV's to freight trains to music to sudden tones to sudden total loss of hearing which then subsides....etc.
Personally...I think many of these tests are simply a way of the ENT to make money off of you as a client. If you have vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus and fullness of the ear...then you have MM. It a diagnosis of exclusion. There is no test that truly gives you an answer. So I wouldn't worry too much either way about the test. Just start to try to figure out the best way to control the symptoms. I would focus my research and energy on that.
