Abstract
<p>Objectives: We aimed to determine vestibular nerve function in patients with auditory neuropathy (AN) based on galvanic vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs).</p><p>Methods: We enrolled 8 patients with an average age of 45.3 ± 29.5 y (mean ± standard deviation) diagnosed with AN. We evaluated their vestibular nerve function based on galvanic VEMPs. The function of the semicircular canals was assessed in all patients using a caloric test. The function of the otolithic apparatus was evaluated using cervical VEMPs.</p><p>Results: Galvanic VEMPs were assessed in 8 patients with AN; 4 patients (50%) had bilateral inaction. Six patients showed no responses in the caloric test and cervical VEMPs.</p><p>Conclusion: In this study, the response of galvanic VEMPs was reduced in 50% of the subjects. Therefore, in some patients with AN, the function of the vestibular nerve is compromised.</p>
