Vestibular evoked myogenic potential eliciting in normal subjects: comparison of four different methods.

Objective: Vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) recording is a new method for testing the otolith receptors and vestibulospinal pathways. The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of VEMP using four different techniques to find reasons to prefer one type of recording over the others.

Material And Methods: Twenty healthy persons, 10 males and 10 females with ages ranging from 20 to 57 years (mean age 41 years), were enrolled in this study.
