Objectives:

To investigate the associations between acoustically evoked short latency negative response (ASNR) and vestibular function in patients with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS) before and after cochlear implantation (CI).

Study Design:

Retrospective study.

Setting:

Tertiary medical center.

Methods:

The records of 64 patients (32 with bilateral LVAS and 32 with no inner ear malformations [IEMs]) who underwent unilateral CI were reviewed. Among them, the auditory brainstem response of 17 LVAS patients who presented with bilateral ASNRs was reassessed after CI, with a mean follow-up period of 4.18 ± 2.43 years.

Results:

The ASNR could be detected more from LVAS ears than from ears without IEMs (67.18% vs 12.5%, P < .001). Compared with the LVAS ears without ASNR, the ears with an ASNR presented better vestibular function, with a lower abnormal rate in the caloric test and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs), before CI. After CI, the LVAS patients showed a significant increase in the abnormal rate of the caloric test (29.41% pre-CI to 70.59% post-CI, P = .038). Notably, patients with a preserved ASNR maintained normal cervical VEMP (cVEMP) responses (100%), whereas those with no robust ASNR had a higher rate of abnormal cVEMP (77.78%, P = .002).

Conclusions:

The presence of an ASNR in LVAS patients correlates with better vestibular function preservation both before and after CI. The function of otoliths in patients with LVAS is not significantly affected by CI. The ASNR may serve as a valuable noninvasive predictor of vestibular outcomes in LVAS patients.

Equilibrium and Balance

Equilibrium and Balance

The inner ear assumes dual functionalities of auditory perception and equilibrium maintenance. The vestibule is the organ responsible for balance. This organ contains mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, endowed with stereocilia, which aid in deciphering information regarding the position and motion of our heads. Two intrinsic components, the utricle and saccule, help perceive head position, while the semicircular canals track head movement. Neurological messages initiated in the...

The Vestibular System

The Vestibular System

The vestibular system is a set of inner ear structures that provide a sense of balance and spatial orientation. This system is comprised of structures within the labyrinth of the inner ear, including the cochlea and two otolith organs—the utricle and saccule. The labyrinth also contains three semicircular canals—superior, posterior, and horizontal—that are oriented on different planes.

Anatomy of the Ear

Anatomy of the Ear

Auditory sensation, commonly called hearing, involves the transformation of sonic waves into neural impulses facilitated by the structures of the auditory organ. The prominent, flesh-like structure on the side of the head, called the auricle, directs sound waves towards the auditory canal. The auricle is often mislabeled as the pinna, a term more aligned with mobile structures like a feline's external ear. The auditory canal penetrates the cranium via the external auditory meatus of the...
