Some old types of laboratory vestibular tests were for a long time the only key methods in diagnostics of peripheral vestibular disorders. Those tests didn’t exam all of the parts of vestibular sensoric organ, and bilathermal caloric test was a golden standard, testing only two lateral semicircular canals. In the last decade, with development of computer and other upgraded technology, better visualisation of the eye movements became possible. In addition, new diagnostic procedures like vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) and video head impulse test (vHIT) were developed. Vestibular testing using these tests has been revolutionised, because they test all vestibular sense organs quickly and safely, four otolith organs and six semicircular canals. However, we shouldn’t forget that the basic medical examination such as anamnesis, otoneurological findings and other standard vestibular examinations are important and valuable and without them it is not possible to get a proper picture of peripheral vestibular disorder
