SUCCESS STORIES
Hi, my name is Mark Cuban. You might have seen me on Shark Tank, I’m the owner of the Dallas Mavericks and a few other things. On May 21st I woke up dizzy. I had no idea what was wrong, and like a lot of you I was scared.
And then I did what you did. What you’re probably doing now. I got online and searched for everything I could possibly find. Well, I got lucky. I happened to come across Dr. Mango’s site at dizziland.com. And happened to be in Southern California, so I went to visit Dr. Mango.
They put me through a battery of tests and found things that, had I not been here, had I not gone to a place like Dr. Mango’s that had all this equipment, they never would have found it.
After the first day of testing, then back the second day for rehab, I felt better. I felt like there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Not only was there a light at the end of the tunnel, I was at the end of the tunnel standing in the light. It really was an amazing comeback in my mind.
If you’ve gone through a battery of tests, nobody can find out what’s wrong with you. You feel dizzy, or not quite dizzy but off. You’ve done all the vertigo tests and you know it’s not vertigo. Everybody tells you it’s not vertigo and you know it’s not. Come and check out dizziland [Newport-Mesa Audiology Balance & Ear Institute]. Come and check out what Dr. Mango has to offer.

I just wanted to give you an update on how the Kilimanjaro hike went…..AMAZING! It was so much easier to do this hike with good balance! I noticed I wasn’t as fatigued as all the other lesser hikes with having to struggle with the balance issue. I ended up raising close to $40k for the charities so that alone was a success.
If you ever have the chance, it is worth doing once (I summited with a lady who it was her 10th Kili summit). The mountain is very beautiful. There are five climate zones on the way up so there is always some new scenery. The goal (accomplished) was to summit by sunrise. We started at Midnight and as we reached the summit, the clouds below (it was like being in an airplane) turned orange and the sun finally came up above them. It was between 20 to 30 degrees right before the sunrise so there was ice crystals all over. When the sun touched those crystals, it was like millions of diamonds sparkling. Truly a beautiful prize for reaching the summit!
Dr. Mango, I want to thank you so much for helping me through this ordeal with my Migraine Associated Vertigo. It has been the biggest challenge I have had to face and I appreciate your sincere concern in helping me feel better. Out of all the 8 doctors I have seen in the past 11 months, you were the most understanding and caring. I feel I am finally on the road to recovery. Thank you for being there. My husband and I will always be grateful.

The testing and doctors were also very courteous and professional. They were able to diagnose my problem right away and therapy began immediately. I even “graduated” from therapy earlier than expected – I believe due to their expert diagnosis and treatment.
I put off taking care of my medical issue – partly out of laziness, partly out of fear of the unknown. This experience was so positive that I would encourage anyone “sitting on the fence” to “just do it”. I did – and I am very glad that I did!

WHAT TO EXPECT
Before your visit
For your ease and convenience, simply visit the Patients section of our site, where you’ll find helpful forms to download and bring with you. We also provide answers to many frequently asked questions there. You’ll also find tips on what to expect within our Resources section.
Our Patient Services staff will schedule your initial office appointment as well as any return visit. They can also attend to your needs following your visit, including arranging additional clinical care. If you have questions about your upcoming or recent visit, or need assistance with new-patient paperwork, please contact us.
At arrival
After check-in, we’ll ensure you comfort as quickly as possible and that necessary forms are completed. If you cannot access or complete forms prior to arrival, please allow additional arrival time to complete prior to your scheduled appointment.
Consultation, Exam & Testing
Prior to your examination, your doctor of audiology will sit down and discuss the reason for your visit, and review any symptoms you might be experiencing. You will also review what to expect during an exam and testing. All testing is directed by your doctor of audiology, utilizing the latest medical technology to confirm diagnostic accuracy. Your doctor will then look into your ear with a device known as an otoscope, and will likely take images of your ear canal and eardrum. All testing is non-invasive and essential to the assessment and overall evaluation of your ear health. Once your testing is complete, each component of testing is carefully analyzed and reviewed. This process to determine function is as important as each test conducted, and will be explained to you.
Next Steps
A detailed summary report will also be sent to your referring physician, if applicable, regarding our conclusions and recommendations.
Treatment is an important factor following diagnosis and a course of action. Success and outcome can be affected by your overall health, age, cognitive abilities, other related disorders, and compliance with program recommendations. Dizzy patients visit us once or twice a week for Advanced Vestibular Treatment™ (AVT) for up to six weeks or until their balance has returned. And our hearing-related patients often receive intervention strategies, which may include medical referral, hearing devices or additional testing.
SPECIALTY TESTING
The Institute is fully-equipped to test thoroughly, utilizing the most comprehensive diagnostic technology available including audiometric booths, posturography, as well as Neuro Kinetics rotational and Epley Omniax® chairs to accurately diagnose and treat balance disorders caused by all six vestibular canals. Our combination of diagnostic and treatment resources under one roof makes Newport-Mesa Audiology Balance & Ear Institute one of the country’s most inclusive balance facilities.
Each doctor of audiology regularly participates in (and often presents or leads) training updates, so you can be confident they’re offering the most sophisticated diagnostic technology available today. If you have previously completed a neurological evaluation, ENG (electronystagmography) or VNG (videonystagmography) testing with other practitioners, yet continue to experience dizziness, there is hope. Our solutions are simply a visit, click or phone call away.

TREATMENT PLANS
All dizziness and hearing rehabilitation plans are managed by your treating doctor of audiology at your choice of two easy-to-access locations. Your choice means there’s no needless travel. And no wasting your precious time.
Facing unresolved issues with dizziness or motion?
We help patients safely and successfully return to their daily activities and live dizzy-free.
Advanced Vestibular Treatment™ (AVT)
Our Institute’s proprietary approach, known as AVT, is a proven, doctor of audiology-directed personalized plan that is frequently more effective in resolving symptoms caused by vestibular disorders than more traditional therapy options and medications. Select AVT programs may also involve a customized home-based exercise option (your treating doctor of audiology will determine if that’s the right option for you).
Epley Omniax® System for BPPV treatment
We are the only private practice with access to three chairs, among only 20 chairs in the U.S. The precise, multi-axial (360°) patient positioning system and nystagmus analysis provide exacting diagnosis and treatment. Rather than imprecise manual maneuvers, this advanced technology gives the Institute the unique ability to identify and rule out causes of vestibular disorders and provides highly precise treatment.
