Method: The present study aimed to administer cVEMP and oVEMP to all the participants having a normal hearing with tinnitus (experimental group) and without tinnitus (Control group) and compared p13, n23 latencies and peak-to-peak amplitude of cVEMP; n10, p15 latencies of oVEMP and peak-to-peak amplitude between two groups and within tinnitus group.
Results: The present study stated that there is no statistically significant difference seen in cVEMP except n23 latency of bilateral tinnitus than control group.
Objectives: Diadochokinetic rate (DDK) quantifies the laryngeal and oral muscle coordination, but there are insufficient baseline evidence exist, that limits the effectiveness of computerized DDK evaluation in assessing motor speech control. In the end, this study will give normative data on age and gender effects on both oral and laryngeal DDK in Tamil speakers.
