Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the relationship between vestibular function and curative effect in patients with severe sudden hearing loss.Method:The vestibular function of 79 patients with severe hearing loss was examined by video-nystagmography (VNG) and vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP).Result:There were significant differences between the two test outcomes (P<0.01) in the severe group (27 cases). The effective rate of both VNG and VEMP normal group was 100%, the effective rate that both VNG and VEMP were abnormal was 41.7%. In the profound severe group (52 cases) there was also a significant difference between the two test results and the therapeutic effect (P<0.01). The effective rate of both VNG and VEMP normal group was 76.9%. The effective rate was 34.6% with both VNG and VEMP abnormal. There was no significant difference between hearing loss degree and curative effect.Conclusion:The VNG and VEMP examinations in patients with severe sudden hearing loss are valuable in evaluating the efficacy. Both VNG and VEMP were abnormal with the worst curative effect.
