Abstract: This session presents the progress of the American Academy of Audiology’s Guideline on Diagnosis of Vestibular Disorders, which is in development to update of 2005 Position Statement on the Audiologist’s Role in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Vestibular Disorders. The update will emphasize diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility. Topics will include pre-test instructions, case history, auditory evaluation for vestibular testing, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo testing, self-report measures, bedside tests, videonystagmography, electrocochleography, vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, video head impulse testing, rotational chair testing, and computerized dynamic posturography. An overview of the systematic review and guideline development process will be presented.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the historical context and evolution of vestibular audiology practice from the 2005 AAA Position Statement to the current evidence-based clinical practice guideline, including key advances in technology.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to summarize the systematic review methodology used to develop the updated Vestibular Clinical Practice Guideline, including the literature search process across multiple databases, PRISMA-guided study selection, and the data extraction and evidence grading framework.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to discuss emerging innovations in evidence review
