			 recording;
(b) 92542 - Positional
			 nystagmus test, minimum of four positions, with recording;
(c) 92543 - Caloric vestibular test, each
			 irrigation (binaural, bithermal stimulation constitutes four tests) with
			 recording;
(d) 92544 - Optokinetic
			 nystagmus test, bidirectional, foveal or peripheral stimulation, with
			 recording;
(e) 92545 - Oscillating
			 tracking test, with recording;
(f)
			 92546 - Sinusoidal vertical axis rotational testing;
(g) 92547 - Use of vertical electrodes in any
			 or all the above tests counts as one additional test;
(h) 92548 - Test for balance and
			 posture;
(i) 92551 - Screening
			 test, pure tone, air only;
(j)
			 92552 - Pure tone audiometry (threshold); air only;
(k) 92555 - Speech audiometry; threshold
			 only;
(l) 92556 - With speech

(m) 92562 - Loudness
			 balance test, alternate binaural or monaural;
(n) 92563 - Tone decay test;
(o) 92564 - Short increment sensitivity index
			 (SISI);
(p) 92565 - Stenger test,

(t) 92571 - Filtered speech tests;
(u) 92572 - Staggered spondaic word
			 test;
(v) 92575 - Sensorineural
			 acuity test, test to assess hearing loss using different tone
			 pitches;
(w) 92576 - Synthetic

(x)
			 92577 - Stenger test, speech;
(y)
			 92579 - Visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA);
(z) 92582 - Conditioning play
			 audiometry;
(aa) 92583 - Select

(bb) 92584 -
			 Electocochleography, test to assess electrical potentials generated in the
			 inner ear as a result of sound stimulation;
(cc) 92585 - Auditory evoked potentials for
			 evoked response audiometry or testing of the central nervous system,
			 comprehensive;
(dd) 92586 -
			 Auditory evoked potentials for evoked response audiometry or testing of the
			 central nervous system, limited;
(ee) 92587 - Evoked Otacoustic Emissions, -
			 limited (single stimulus level, either transient or distortion
			 products);
(ff) 92588 - Evoked
			 Otacoustic Emissions, comprehensive or diagnostic evaluation (comparison of
			 transient or distortion product otoacoustic emissions at multiple levels and
			 frequencies);
(gg) 92620 - Auditory
			 function 60 minutes, evaluation of hearing function brain responses, first
			 hour
(hh) 92621 - Auditory function
