In this survey, the applications of the main diagnostic methods in this interdisciplinary field are briefly discussed. The diagnostic capacities of the caloric test, video head impulse test, cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, videonystagmography, electrococheography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, etc. are summarized. Special attention is paid to some common vestibular disorders such as Menière’s disease, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular migraine, vestibular neuritis, and acute vestibular syndrome.
