Symptom Questionnaire (DHI)
At-Home Balance Test (Modified Romberg)
Safety First!
Perform this test near a wall or sturdy chair for support. If you feel very unsteady, do not proceed with the eyes-closed portion.
Stand with your feet together, arms at your sides. Hold for 30 seconds with eyes open.
Now, hold the same position for 30 seconds with eyes closed.
Note your stability. Significant swaying, needing to step, or inability to hold the position (especially with eyes closed) may indicate a balance issue.

About the Assessments
Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL)
NIHL is permanent hearing impairment from prolonged exposure to loud noise. Exposure at or above 85 dBA can damage sensitive inner ear cells. Since this damage is irreversible, prevention through awareness and hearing protection is crucial.
Balance and Inner Ear Health
Your sense of balance is managed by a complex system involving your inner ears (vestibular system), your eyes (vision), and your sense of touch/position (proprioception). Dizziness, vertigo, and unsteadiness can occur when the inner ear is affected by conditions like Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, or vestibular neuritis. This tool provides a preliminary check, but is not a substitute for a professional diagnosis.
