Introduction: The masseter vestibular evoked myogenic potential (mVEMP) is a bilaterally generated, electromyographically (EMG)-mediated response innervated by the trigeminal nerve. The purpose of the present investigation was to 1) determine whether subjects could accurately achieve and maintain a range of EMG target levels, 2) to examine the effects of varied EMG levels on the latencies and amplitudes of the mVEMP, and 3) to investigate the degree of side-to-side asymmetry and any effects of EMG activation.

Methods: Subjects were nine neurologically and otologically normal young adults.

Any degree of hearing loss can have a negative impact on child development. The amount of impact is largely determined by the type, quality, and timeliness of intervention. Early identification and management of hearing loss is essential for minimizing the impact of hearing loss and ensuring that children can reach their cognitive, linguistic, educational, and social potential.
