CERVICAL VESTIBULAR EVOKED MYOGENIC POTENTIALS (VEMP) RECORDING IN NORMAL HEARING INDIVIDUALS WITH LOGON STIMULUS

¹Devrek Devlet Hastanesi, KBB, Zonguldak, Türkiye
²Ankara Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıd Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, KBB, Ankara, Türkiye To get normative data in cervical VEMP (Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials) recording, cervical VEMP test was done to healthy individuals. This study was done at Ankara Dışkapı YB Training and Research Hospital Department of Odiology. Fifty-four person (108 ears) were included in this study. Bilateral simultaneous cervical VEMP recording was done in head elevation method. Logon stimulus with 120 dB HL intensity was used to trigger cervical VEMPs. The response rate was 97.2%. P1 latency, N1 latency, P1-N1 interval and P1-N1 amplitude values were compatible with previous articles. Since Vcervical EMP recording is an objective, easiliy applied, fast and noninvasive test and the individuals tolerance is very well.Therefore, cervical VEMP is useful in the evaluation of vestibular system with beside the other routine tests.
