Evaluatıon of the descriptive values and occlusion effects of air and bone conducted cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in normal individuals

Abstract Objective This study was aimed to establish the descriptive statistical values of cVEMPs’s responses which are evoked by air and bone conducted stimuli examine effects occlusion on (BC) cVEMPs test. Methods The carried out 20 individuals ( n = 40 ears), 11 women 9 men, at Medipol Mega University Hospital. tests were applied in five stages who volunteer participate this study. Firstly, (AC) test applied. Then, BC four different conditions with aim examining effect. Results Latency AC response 15.17 ± 0.77 ms for P1 24.12 1.38 N1 8.95 1.12 interpeak latencies. P1N1 amplitude value 149.73 75.00 μV. VEMPs asymmetry ratio (VAR) 0.16 0.16. measurements 14.38 0.85 23.40 1.50 9.05 1.57 107.58 54.08 VAR 0.15 0.12. Both parameters demonstrated that there not any significant differences between female-male left ear-right ear. When compared, mean latencies significantly shorter than those p < 0.01). amplitudes larger impact effect examined, no significance found. Conclusion As a result, it thought cVEMPs, is widely used clinics, might be vestibular assessment conductive hearing losses (CHL) obtaining In addition, as an auxiliary diagnose patients hyperacusis disturbed loud noises.
