چکیده

objectives: the aim of present study was evaluation of saccule function in cochlear implant candidates with severe to profound sensory neural hearing loss before and after cochlear implantation methods: in this study 35 cochlear implant (ci) candidates with bilateral severe to profound sensory neural hearing loss before and about 30 days after cochlear implant and 20 normal-hearing cases as a control group underwent vemp test. both groups were matched based on gender and age. results: vemp responses were absent bilaterally in 10 out of 35 patients. 4 patients were excluded from the study because they did not receive ci during present study. from 21 remaining patients, 5 cases lost vemp responses in their implanted ear after surgery. in control group, vemp responses were present bilaterally. discussion: the results of present study indicate that saccule dysfunction in ci candidates is extremely probable and this is possible that saccule get impaired after ci.
