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 ...

Abstract Objectıve The objective of this study is to obtain normative data the masseter vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (mVEMP) test in healthy individuals without hearing loss and dizziness compare responses with cVEMP test. Methods Twenty (10 males 10 females) aged 20–30 years auditory vestibular disorders participated study. First, mVEMP then tests were applied who voluntarily Results L...

UNLABELLED The most important for the diagnosis of vestibular schwannoma is MRI technic, which allows assessing its size and shape. The gold diagnostic standard includes also PTA, SD and ABR, nystagmography with calorics and VEMP. Nystagmography with calorics reflects the status of superior vestibular nerve. The sensitivity of calorics amounts to 61-87%. VEMPs reflect the status of interior ves...

Recent investigations have shown that late preterm infants have increased risk for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, neurosensory impairment, and emotional, behavior and learning problems. Vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) abnormality may partly contribute to these problems. Our aim was to measure VEMP in late preterm infants and to compare the findings between late preterm an...

BACKGROUND To diagnose acoustic neuromas (ANs), the auditory brainstem response test and the caloric test have been used in addition to magnetic resonance imaging. The auditory brainstem response and the caloric tests mainly reflect functions of the auditory pathway, ie, the cochlear nerve and the superior vestibular nerve, respectively. Because the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) h...

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...

Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) has a prevalence of 10 in 100,000. Viral infections, vascular obstruction and rupture of the intracochlear membranes are supposed to be its most common etiologies. About 40% of patients experience vertigo or imbalance. The VEMP (vestibular evoked myogenic potentials) test is a known approach for detailed study of the labyrinth. The advant...

OBJECTIVE To compare the differences of diagnostic rates, of the two widely used test positions, in measuring vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) and selecting the most appropriate analytical method for diagnostic criteria for the patients with vertigo. METHODS Thirty-two patients with vertigo were tested in two comparative testing positions: turning the head to the opposite side of ...
