To study the characteristics of bone-conducted vibration vestibular evoked myogenic potential(BCV-VEMP) in normal adult with and without myotonia rectification, and to provide accurate reference for clinical vestibular function evaluation. Thirty normal adults(60 ears) aged 20-32 years old were selected to receive BCV-VEMP in a sitting position. BCV-VEMP were induced by B-81 bone-conducted vibrator at 129.5 FL, the P1 latency, N1 latency, P1-N1interval, amplitude, and amplitude asymmetry ratios were recorded in two test conditions. Clear and repeatable waveforms of BCV-cVEMP and BCV-oVEMP were obtained in all normal adults. The P1 and N1 latencies of BCV-cVEMP were(16.00±2.02) ms and(25.04±2.57) ms, respectively, P1-N1 interval was(9.04±1.78) ms. The N1 and P1 latencies of BCV-oVEMP were(10.39±0.81) ms and(15.85±1.00) ms, respectively, iand interval was(5.46±0.86) ms. The amplitudes of BCV-cVEMP and BCV-oVEMP in two test conditions were statistically significant(<0.05). The amplitude asymmetry ratios of BCV-cVEMP and BCV-oVEMP after rectification were (17.03±9.14)% and (20.43±11.65)%, respectively. BCV-VEMP is a feasible and reliable tool for vestibular function assessment. The establishment of a normal values such as amplitude and amplitude asymmetry ratio after rectification can provide a more reliable and accurate reference.

: Skull vibration-induced nystagmus (SVIN) has become a validated tool for evaluating the vestibular function. The presence of SVIN is a useful indicator of the asymmetry of vestibular function between the two ears. In unilateral vestibular loss, a 100 Hz bone-conducted vibration given to either mastoid immediately causes a primarily horizontal nystagmus.

Background:  There is limited evidence demonstrating the ability of audiometric bone vibrators to elicit ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs). The RadioEar B71 bone vibrator has insufficient power output to reliably evoke oVEMPs, which has previously left nonaudiometric and nonmedically approved devices such as the Brüel & Kjær Mini-shaker 4810 as the only feasible alternative. The newer RadioEar B81 model has a higher power output than its predecessor, but evidence for its suitability for eliciting oVEMPs has so far been mixed.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the relationship between chronic dizziness and inner ear function assessments in patients with vestibular neuritis (VN), particularly using cervical and ocular VEMP tests.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 60 VN patients, categorizing them based on the duration of their dizziness symptoms into short-term and long-term groups while performing a variety of audiovestibular tests.
  • Findings suggest that abnormalities in both GVS-cVEMP and GVS-oVEMP tests are linked to an increased likelihood of prolonged dizziness, indicating these could serve as prognostic markers for VN patients.

Objectives: The study objective was to investigate the influence of electrical stimulus properties on cervical and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials to electrical stimulation by cochlear implants (e-cVEMPs, e-oVEMPs).

Methods: E-VEMPs were recorded in adult Nucleus cochlear implant (CI) patients using electric pulse trains (4 biphasic pulses at 1000 Hz burst rate). Ground path and stimulation electrodes were varied between monopolar stimulation at basal electrode contact E3 (MP1 + 2 E3), monopolar stimulation at apical electrode contact E20 (MP1 + 2 E20), and bipolar transmodiolar stimulation between E3 and E14 (BP E3-E14).

Is galvanic VEMP a prediction of the nerve origin and damage in patients of vestibular schwannoma.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent studies suggest that some vestibular schwannomas (tumors) may not originate solely from the vestibular nerve of the eighth cranial nerve, which raises new questions about their nature.
  • A case-control study found that vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) measured through galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) were lower in patients with vestibular schwannoma compared to healthy controls, particularly as tumor size increased.
  • The findings indicate that GVS VEMPs can help differentiate between types of vestibular lesions and might provide insights into the relationship between the tumor’s origin and the remaining function of the vestibular system.
