Since<unk>  symptoms are fairly common to many hearing loss disorders, it may be difficult to diagnose<unk>  without performing multiple medical tests. Some examples of these tests include: * Hearing Tests for Progressive Hearing and Balance loss * Audiometry (measure of hearing acuity and sound intensity) * Rotatory Chair Test (determines if<unk>  ear is responsible for balance loss) * Electrocochleography (ECOG) (recording of electrical potential in<unk>  ear due to sound) * Blood Tests for General<unk><unk> s * Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (test for inflammation) * Rheumatoid Factor (indicator of<unk>  disorders) There are also blood tests specific to<unk>  ear disorders: * Anti-cochlear antibody test (testing for antibodies against cochlear cells) * Lymphocyte Transformation Assay (testing whether an individual has developed a T-cell response against a certain drug) Though it has also been proposed that the use of anti heat shock protein 70 antibodies may be useful in the detection and diagnosis of<unk> , there is not enough evidence to confirm the reliability of this method.
