This study was performed to elucidate the mechanism and pathways of the VEMP. Patients and Methods: Ten patients (3 men and 7 women) with sudden deafness were subjected to a VEMP test by tone burst (95 dBHL, 500 Hz). Results: Nine (90%) of the ten ears with lesions had normal VEMPs, of which seven had a pure tone average of more than 90 dBHL. Four ears had canal palsy, but normal VEMPs. In comparison to wave I (p13) latency, wave II (n23) latency, and wave I-II amplitude showed no differences between the ears with lesions and control ears (16.1±3.0 ms, 21.9±2.2 ms, and 23.6±8.6 μV versus 14.9±2.1 ms, 20.3±1.8 ms, and 27.8±8.7 μV, respectively). Tapping instead of tone burst stimulation successfully evokes a VEMP response in an ear with chronic otitis media. Conclusions: VEMP is generated via the inferior vestibular nerve, which is unrelated to the hearing level or caloric response, but can be attenuated by conductive hearing loss. |
