[Evaluation of sensorineural hearing loss by late response of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials]

The aim of this paper was assessment of usefulness of MPPW recording in diagnosis of hearing loss. Study of MPPW performed in 65 people, in these 22 cases with normal hearing (44 ears), 20 subjects with sensorineural hearing loss (27 ears), 10 examined with retrocochlear hearing loss (12 ears) and 10 patients with unilateral totally deafness. Differences of latency wave n34 p44 (later response of VEMPs) were stated in sensorineural and retrocochlear hearing loss with reference to latencies this wave in normal hearing subjects. Vestibular organ lesion may be not only diagnosed based on VEMPs results but also cochlear organ lesion can.
