One of these methods is eccentric rotation without the support of the body which was held in two groups of the persons: control group of 32 healthy persons and 48 patients with unilateral vestibular loss. The second method of otolith organs investigation was evaluation of them by producing dynamic optogravitational reactions and measuring an angle of the eyeballs deviation and time of illusion. Two groups--one consisting 102 healthy persons and second 91 persons with unilateral hearing loss were examined. It was stated that the angle of eyeballs deviation was reduced and time of illusion was longer in the group patients in comparison with healthy person.
