CONCLUSIONS The patients who received electric acoustic stimulation (EAS) cochlear implantation had relatively good vestibular function compared with the patients who did not have residual hearing. The vestibular function was well preserved after atraumatic EAS surgery. The round window approach and soft electrode are preferred to decrease the risk of impairing vestibular function.

Objective: This study investigated whether the blink reflex could be substituted for vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP), which has some limitations use in stroke patients.Methods: Thirty-four patients with cerebellar or brainstem ischemic underwent VEMP and testing. We compared P13 latency of R1, R2, R2’ patients. Statistical analysis was conducted using Fisher exact test independent t...

OBJECTIVE Vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) is a clinical test used in the diagnosis of vestibular diseases. VEMP uses several stimulants to stimulate the vestibular system and measure myogenic potentials. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of tone burst, click, and chirp stimulation in VEMP on the latency and amplitude of myogenic potentials. MATERIALS AND METHODS We ...

Audiology the science of Hearing is developing in a rapid pace. The Clinician and Audiologist have a number of modern Audiological tools at their service for easy diagnosis of Ear problems. This Article summarizes some of the relevant developments which will be useful for the Clinician and Scientist. Discussed topics include Otoreflectance Audiometry, Multi Frequency Tympanometry, Fast Spin Ech...

Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder is a clinical disorder where the outer hair cell functioning is intact but the functioning of the auditory nerve is affected. Since, the 8(th) nerve is constituted by both the auditory and vestibular branch of nerve fibers, there are chances that the vestibular nerve might also be affected. Hence, the current study was carried out in order to determine the ...

BACKGROUND Superficial siderosis (SS) is caused by repeated or continuous bleeding into the subarachnoid space that results in iron from hemoglobin (hemosiderin) being deposited on the surface of the brain. Clinically, the condition is characterized by sensorineural deafness, ataxia, and pyramidal signs. However the mechanism of peripheral vestibular disturbance was not revealed. We show the ve...
