OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Similarities between the peripheral auditory and vestibular systems suggest that children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) may demonstrate vestibular and balance impairments. This hypothesis was studied in 40 children with severe to profound SNHL and unilateral cochlear implants. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cross-sectional study with repeated measures. METHODS Vesti...

A recent technique of assessing vestibular function, the vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP), is an otolith-mediated, short-latency reflex recorded from averaged sternocleidomastoid electromyography in response to intense auditory clicks delivered via headphones. Since their first description 10 years ago, VEMPs are now being used by investigators worldwide, and characteristic changes o...

BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune systemic disease. Most common autoimmune diseases are multisystem disorders that may also present with otological manifestations, and autoimmune inner ear disease accompanied by vestibular dysfunction. This study aimed to compare the vestibular function between RA patients and normal subjects using cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potenti...

Abstract Objectıve The objective of this study is to obtain normative data the masseter vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (mVEMP) test in healthy individuals without hearing loss and dizziness compare responses with cVEMP test. Methods Twenty (10 males 10 females) aged 20–30 years auditory vestibular disorders participated study. First, mVEMP then tests were applied who voluntarily Results L...
