Objectives.
Vestibular hearing as an auditory sensitivity of the saccule in the human ear is revealed by cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs).
The range of the vestibular hearing lies in the low frequency.
Also, the amplitude of an auditory brainstem response component depends on the amount of synchronized neural activity, and the auditory nerve fibers' responses have the best synchronization with the low frequency.
Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate correlation between vestibular hearing using cVEMPs and neural synchronization via slow wave Auditory Brainstem Responses (sABR).
Study Design.
This case-control survey was consisted of twenty-two dizzy patients, compared to twenty healthy controls.
Methods.
Intervention comprised of Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA), Impedance acoustic metry (IA), Videonystagmography (VNG), fast wave ABR (fABR), sABR, and cVEMPs.
Results.
The affected ears of the dizzy patients had the abnormal findings of cVEMPs (insecure vestibular hearing) and the abnormal findings of sABR (decreased neural synchronization).
Comparison of the cVEMPs at affected ears versus unaffected ears and the normal persons revealed significant differences (P<0.05).
Conclusion.
Safe vestibular hearing was effective in the improvement of the neural synchronization.
