Vestibular functions in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and its relation to prognosis.

Objective: Because of the anatomically close relationship between the cochlea and the vestibular organs, cochlear function disorders may be accompanied by vestibular disorders. This study aimed to evaluate vestibular functions in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss using VEMP, caloric test, and VNG test battery and its relation to prognosis.

Materials And Methods: For this study, 42 patients aged 18-55 years with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and 30 volunteers who had no hearing and balance problems were included.

Normalization of Bone Conduction Auditory Brainstem Evoked Responses in Normal Hearing Individuals.

Objectives: Auditory brainstem responses (ABR) are used to evaluate the peripheral and central functions of the auditory tract. Air and bone-conduction auditory stimuli are used to evaluate the type and degree of hearing loss. The wave latencies and interpeak latencies (IPLs) are the important diagnostic data in ABR tests.
