Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential and high-frequency audiometry results in Behçet’s disease

Abstract Background Hearing is commonly impaired in Behçet’s disease (BD). Also, vestibular abnormalities as well cochlear function affection have been found. The inflammatory process which leads to BD may be the cause of frequency audiometry those patients. aim this study assess hearing and vestibulo-colic reflex Behçet patients using convential pure-tone (cPTA), high-frequency (HFA), cervical evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP). Results This included 25 with (group I), whose age ranged from 21 45 years, a mean 34.24 ± 7.07 years. control group II) comprised 20 normal adults ages are between 30.8 8.02 measured cVEMP parameters include peak latency P13 N23 were statistically significantly different suffering groups. All had sensorineural loss (SNHL) starting 4 up 12.5 kHz. thresholds higher diseased group. Conclusion testing can used for evaluation occurrence especially regions common finding BD, HFA valuable tool early exploration BD.
