what is ecog
Electrocochleography (ECOG) Electrocochleography (ECOG) is a diagnostic test that examines the function of the inner ear. This test measures the electrical potentials generated in the inner ear in response to sound. The ECOG is most often used to determine if the inner ear has an excessive amount of fluid pressure, which can cause symptoms such as hearing loss, aural fullness, dizziness, and/or tinnitus. These symptoms are sometimes indicative of certain ear pathologies such as Meniereâs disease or endolymphatic hydrops.
