background :preterm birth is a significant global health problem with serious short- and long-term consequences. this study examined the long term effects of preterm birth on vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (vemps) among preschool-aged children.   methods : thirty-one children with preterm and 20 children with term birth histories aged 5.5 to 6.5 years were studied. each child underwent v...

Introduction: Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) is caused by inflammation of the ligaments and muscles surrounding joints. TMD associated with several comorbidities, one these comorbidities are otological problems. The symptoms related to tinnitus, otalgia, ear fullness, Vertigo. Vertigo observed in many diseases etiologic factors should be investigated increase efficiency treatment Obj...

speech delay with an unknown cause is a problem among children. this diagnosis is the last differential diagnosis after observing normal findings in routine hearing tests. the present study was undertaken to determine whether auditory brainstem responses to click stimuli are different between normally developing children and children suffering from delayed speech with unknown causes. in this cr...

OBJECTIVE To determine the amplitude changes of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) recorded simultaneously from the neck (cVEMPs) and eyes (oVEMPs) in response to 500 Hz, 2 ms air-conducted sound pips over a 30 dB range. METHODS Fifteen healthy volunteers (mean age 29, range 18-57 years old) and one patient with unilateral superior canal dehiscence (SCD) were studied. The stimulus ...

The vestibular system responds to head acceleration by producing compensatory reflexes in the eyes and postural muscles. In this study, we investigated the effect of brief interaural acceleration on the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) in 10 normal subjects and 10 patients with bilateral (bVL) or unilateral vestibular loss (uVL). The stimuli were delivered with a handheld minishaker ...
