[Electronystagmographic values of the caloric vestibular response in the cumulative phase in healthy people].

Cumulative phase nystagmic responses to caloric stimulation was examined in 72 healthy subjects without any balance disorders and aged 15-55 years. After detailed problem-oriented anamnesis had been taken, vestibular apparatus function was examined by caloric water stimulation using its standard values (44 degrees C, 30 degrees C and if necessary, 18 degrees C) together with electronystagmographic registration of nystagmus. During each labyrinth caloric stimulation, data on vertigo, nausea and vomiting have been recorded.

Ototoxicity with children caused by streptomycin.

In the hospital for pulmonary tuberculosis in children, a group of 975 children treated with streptomycin sulphate was audiologically examined and in 36% of children ototoxic lesions were defined. From these, in 24% the damage affected only the vestibular labyrinth, in 8% both the vestibular labyrinth and the organ of Corti and in 4% the organ of Corti alone.
