Evaluation of Patients with Delayed Endolymphatic Hydrops by Videonystagmography, Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potentials, and Electrocochleography
Conclusion and Significance: The probability of a hypofunction VNG test in a normal-hearing ear might be greater when the VEMPs results of the contralateral deaf ear are normal. In patients with a normal-hearing ear, the distribution of abnormal VEMPs in the contralateral deaf ear is greater, although the intact side may also manifest abnormality in VEMPs tests. The initial evaluation should begin in a deaf ear as well as for the normal-hearing ear ere utilizing ablation surgery.ORL
