About Us
- Our proprietary approach.
- Highly successful results.
- Everything within an easy-to-access setting – no traveling around.
Approach. We are proud to be recognized as one of the country’s leading practices for the research, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with dizziness, vertigo and balance disorders. All patient care and treatment, including Advanced Vestibular Treatment™ (AVT), is solely directed by our doctors of audiology. We combine highly advanced medical technology and our expertise with the vestibular system of the inner ear. Our Institute is one of the most comprehensive practices in the U.S. offering patient-friendly testing and treatment programs for dizziness, vertigo, unsteadiness, tinnitus, and hearing loss.
Results. All clinical staff focuses their research and expertise on vestibular (inner ear) disorders. The Institute’s board-certified vestibular audiologists, led by Executive Director and Founder Dr. Howard T. Mango, offer innovative diagnosis and treatment of BPPV, labyrinthitis, vestibular neuritis, vestibular equivalent migraine and motion sensitivity. To date, more than 90% of all Institute patients have demonstrated measurable, clinical improvement following personalized dizziness treatment. Our doctors are skillfully trained to custom fit patients with innovative, state-of-the-art hearing devices such as the Bluetooth-enabled devices and the invisible, in-the-ear Lyric™.
Inclusive, easy to access setting: Our convenient Orange County, CA location is designed with patient comfort in mind to eliminate the many frustrations and time-consuming factors that patients face. All testing and treatment is done in one place – say goodbye to traveling around to endless doctors and therapies.
Dr. Howard T. Mango and his clinical team have treated more than 50,000 patients for chronic dizziness, vertigo, balance disorders, and hearing loss, including tinnitus. We have been successfully treating patients since 1977.
Our clinical staff strives to ease any concerns you may have from the start. They understand that you really don’t feel at your best. Please allow five hours for this appointment, and feel free to bring along a friend or family member. We’ll make you both as comfortable as we can.
Prior to exam and testing, your doctor of audiology reviews your medical history, reason for your visit and any symptoms you might be experiencing. Each testing procedure differs slightly. Before testing, we’ll discuss what we’re doing and why.
Approximately 5-7 days after your balance evaluation, a detailed report containing evaluation results, conclusions and recommendations will be sent to your referring physician (if applicable). Remember that we are here to help support you through decisions to the best course of action.
Sessions are generally 45 minutes. Patients typically visit our Institute 1-2 times weekly for up to 6 weeks or until their dysfunction is resolved. Additionally, select patients may be provided a personalized, home-based exercise and video therapy program that they can perform independently.
Additionally we feature Neuro Kinetics rotary chairs like those used by the U.S. Military, as part of our testing and treatment.
We’ll take good care of you. Appropriate rest time is included and you’ll even have time to attend to those things of importance. Please don’t hesitate to ask us how we can make your experience more pleasant.
Hearing Loss & Devices
If you’ve come to us, or are thinking of coming to us, you suspect something may be amiss. Hearing loss occurs gradually over time, and you may not be aware of how significant your loss may be. We’re ready to help you address concerns, forge a solution and get you there. Don’t miss out on the sounds that matter the most, like an impromptu chat in a busy setting …because today there are devices that will separate out sounds even in noisy environments. Or the quieter moments in life, like an intimate conversation, a child’s whisper… even the gentle patter of raindrops on a windowsill.
We recommend getting an exam, as they are generally fast, easy and painless. So if you suspect your hearing is getting worse, you owe it to yourself to come in and get it checked
The Oticon Opn™ is an example of the latest in communication technology embedded into one powerful, yet feather-light device. The device can connect to the “Internet of things”, which means Opn can seamlessly connect with other appliances and devices that rely on the web. The Opn device features a tiny chip that has the capability and speed needed to manage multiple sound sources, analyzing and processing sound data 50 times faster than other devices.
Both are fantastic choices and offer their own unique benefits. You can schedule a hearing examination to determine whether these hearing devices are right for you
but also our exacting standards for quality, value and warranty support.

We are located in an easy-to-access location in Orange County, California.
