Bring in CDs of images if you have them.

If you have CDs of previous head or neck imaging, please bring them with you to the visit and ask the Medical Assistant to load them. Dr. Hain can "see" images done at Northwestern affiliates, but not ones done at other medical systems such as Northshore, U Chicago, Advocate etc.

Previous testing:

If you have had previous testing related to your inner ear, brain or neck, please bring these results with you. For hearing issues, we want to see the graphic reports. These are available if done at Northwestern, but usually not if done other than in the NM network. For example, U Chicago graphic test results are not available to NM.
