Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential as a Tool to Identify Vestibular Involvement in Auditory Neuropathy

Vestibular test findings in individuals with auditory neuropathy: review

“…15 The authors reported that the vestibularevoked myogenic potentials were either absent or prolonged in latency, and there was a reduction in amplitude in 80 per cent of the ears tested. The authors suggested that the term 'acoustic neuropathy' should be used to indicate those patients in whom only the acoustic nerve is affected, and the label 'vestibuloacoustic neuropathy' should be applied to those patients who also show involvement of the vestibular system.…”

Prevalence of vestibular symptoms in individuals with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder – A retrospective study

“…The previous studies on ANSD have reported substantial vestibular nerve damage in individuals with ANSD (6,7,9). The abnormal results on cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential suggests a sacculo-collicpathway dys-function affecting the inferior vestibular nerve (6).…”

“…Vertigo is also one of the symptoms reported by individuals with ANSD. These individuals also exhibit vestibular neuropathy along with auditory difficulties (6)(7)(8).The individuals with ANSD are also reported to have vestibular neuropathy along with auditory difficulties (6)(7)(8).…”

“…The involvement of the vestibular branch in individuals with ANSD is extensively reported in the literature (6)(7)(8)(9). Kumar et al(6) suggested using the terminology "vestibuloacoustic neuropathy" in individuals who have both auditory and vestibular involvement.…”
