What is an "ENG"?

Jason Hamilton (Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon) gives expert video advice on: What is "motion sickness" or "sea sickness"?; What can I do to prevent or treat motion sickness?; How can I reduce or prevent dizziness? and more...

An ENG is an electronystagnogram, which measures your balance. An ENG is very similar to an electrocardiogram, which measure the electrical signals in your heart. The ENG measures the electrical signals that come from the ear to the eye and are used to maintain your balance. If there's any abnormality in those signals, either from one ear to the other or in the whole system in total, that can give a sign as to why you have vertigo.
