There has been a growing interest in studying the usefulness of chirp stimuli in recording cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) waveforms. Nevertheless, the study outcomes are debatable and require verification. In view of this, the aim of the present study was to compare cVEMP results when elicited by 500 Hz tone burst and narrowband (NB) CE-Chirp stimuli in adults with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).

Background: This study investigates the test-retest reliability, aging effects, and differences in horizontal semicircular canals gain values between the head impulse paradigm and suppression head impulse paradigm.

Methods: Sixty healthy adult subjects aged 22-76-year-old (mean ± standard deviation=47.27 ± 18.

Background: The vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) response characteristics depend on age, stimulus and individual anatomical differences. Therefore, normative data are required for accurate VEMPs interpretations. This cross-sectional study investigates VEMPs age-related changes among healthy adults using 750 Hz short alternating tone burst (TB) stimuli.

Introduction: Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is one of the rare diseases involving genetics and affects various body systems. The disease is known due to the absence of paternal genes on chromosome 15q11-q13. Multisystem complex conditions require interdisciplinary healthcare treatment.

While specific bedside examinations are known to be sensitive in identifying stroke among acute vestibular syndrome patients, complementary quantitative vestibular function testing can be helpful to quantify vestibular loss due to stroke. In contrast to peripheral vestibular dysfunction, diagnosis of central vestibular dysfunction can be challenging for unskilful clinicians. This article presents a comprehensive overview of quantitative vestibular function test findings such as the video head impulse test (vHIT), cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs), ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs), videonystagmography (VNG) and caloric test among stroke patients.
