"The goal of Balance Awareness Week is to help people recognize the symptoms of a vestibular disorder to promote rapid diagnosis and effective treatment," said Tony Staser, VEDA development director. "Ninety million Americans suffer from dizziness or imbalance during their lifetimes. The sooner people can get help, the sooner they are on a path to learning to cope with their illness."
Said Vince Kytka, NKI marketing director, "We are delighted to support VEDA is this important effort. We've been serving audiologists, otolaryngologists and other medical specialists for almost 30 years with tests and devices to diagnose various vestibular-related health problems. Yes, there has been tremendous progress in understanding and treating balance disorders and we're proud that our technology and precision equipment has helped the balance community improve early diagnosis. But there is still much to be accomplished."
NKI's devices and its proprietary I-Portal® platform technology precisely measure oculomotor (eye movement) functions, helping clinicians detect a broad range of vestibular and neurological pathologies.
VEDA is partnering with international advocacy groups to promote Balance Awareness Week globally, including the Ménière's Society UK () and Ménière's Australia ().
