High impact information on Vestibular Function Tests

Five days after the first gentamicin administration, cochlear and vestibular function tests were performed [1].
The recovery of hearing was worst in the BPPV group, especially in the high frequency range, followed by the unilateral hypofunction group, who showed hearing thresholds between those in the BPPV group and those in the normal vestibular function test group [2].
In an age in which economically efficient and clinically effective diagnostic methods are in high demand, ENG testing remains the gold standard of vestibular function tests [3].
Bilateral sensorineural hearing loss was found in seven MC patients (22%) and altered vestibular function test values in other seven subjects (22%) [4].
