Electrocochleography is a complex test that records the electrical activity of the cochlea, which is a part of the inner ear. ECochG is commonly carried out to diagnose or rule out Meniere’s disease. The EcochG is performed by putting a very small and thin electrode in the ear canal and positioning it very close to the eardrum, also known as tympanic membrane. During the test, the ear is stimulated with sounds and those sounds are transformed into vibrations sent to the inner ear. The said vibrations are then converted into electrical impulses in the inner ear and those impulses are measured and recorded using computer software. A professional is needed to carry out this test. If you are in the Springfield, PA area and need to find an auditory clinic to provide this service, give PA Center for Hearing and Balance a call. The ear is then stimulated with sounds. These sounds are transformed into vibrations in the middle ear –your ear does this naturally and automatically all the time. The vibrations are turned into electrical impulses in the inner ear and are recorded and measured using computer software.
