Experiences with a Computer-Based Electronystagmography System in Examining Totally Deaf Patients

Although the computer-based electronystagmography (ENG) system's analytic routines offer refinements available only in research laboratories, the system is very useful also in everyday practice. The computer-based ENG system contains a stimulator for saccadic and sinusoidal eye movements and for optokinetic eye movements, both of which are connected to the registration program. The system contains software for the numerical analysis of nystagmus, especially slowphase velocity. When stimulation begins, registration also starts automatically. The system can save patient data.
