Day 3: This course is for audiologists and other healthcare professionals who are familiar with VNG/ENG testing and wish to gain practical experience with the administration and interpretation of the test. A training DVD containing actual test results will be provided so that the participants can practice analyzing and interpreting the test on their own.
