Purpose: Vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) is a test used to evaluate the function of otolith organs. In healthy individuals, air-conducted (AC) responses are obtained, whereas, in conductive hearing loss, the inability to transmit the signal well enough with AC stimuli has led to the need for bone-conducted (BC) stimuli. This study aimed to compare 500 Hz Chirp and Tone Burst stimuli in terms of latency and amplitude in BC cVEMP.
Methods: This prospective observational case control study included 35 healthy participants (70 ears) between the age of 20-50. Participants underwent VEMP testing with BC 500 Hz Tone Burst stimulus and 500 Hz narrow band Chirp stimulus without changing the position of the bone conducted vibrator. The intensity of the stimuli was 50 dB nHL.
Results: Response rate of 500 Hz TB Stimulus was 51.4% and 95.7% in Chirp stimulus. It was observed that significantly more responses were obtained with Chirp stimulus than TB stimulus (p < 0.001). In terms of p1 latency, n1 latency, both latencies were significantly shorter in Chirp stimulus (p < 0.001). p1n1 amplitude was found significantly larger in Chirp stimulus (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Compared to 500 Hz TB stimulus, 500 Hz Chirp stimulus results in a higher response rate, larger p1n1 amplitude, and shorter p1 and n1 latency. A higher response rate may provide a more accurate assessment of otolith organs, reducing false negatives due to signal transmission in patients.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of changes in group delay from a click signal to a chirp signal on the 40-Hz Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR) using magnetoencephalography (MEG).
Design: In this study, each participant was exposed to 10 chirp signals with gradually varying group delays from the CE chirp to the click at 60 dB nHL. The 40-Hz ASSR was measured using MEG and evaluated for amplitude and latency in the maximum signal channel at the click signal measured in each hemisphere.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of the Level-Specific CE-Chirp (LS CE-Chirp) stimulus versus the traditional click stimulus in auditory brainstem response (ABR) tests for diagnosing high-frequency hearing loss (HFHL).
- It involved 30 individuals with HFHL and 30 controls, measuring peak latencies and interpeak latencies of ABR waves after exposing them to both stimuli.
- Results showed that while the LS CE-Chirp had longer latencies at higher intensity in normal-hearing individuals, it did not show significant differences in the HFHL group compared to clicks, suggesting more consistent results with LS CE-Chirp but requiring further research for clinical effectiveness.

Due to contradictory outcomes in the literature, the aim of this meta-analysis is to verify whether the narrowband (NB) CE-Chirp stimulus (centred at 500 Hz) would produce more robust cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) responses relative to the conventional 500 Hz tone burst. The literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases and the terms used were "vestibular evoked myogenic potential" and "chirp". The cVEMP parameters to be analysed were P1 latency, N1 latency, and P1-N1 amplitude.
