Term
first to report vestibular responses to sound in normal human subjects and prove they were not mediated by the cochlea. Also described small head movements toward the stimulated ear following high-level (122-134 dB SPL) 1000 Hz tones and suggested may be result of otolith organ stimulation |

Term
People who studied: -Recorded frequency following responds (FFR) and middle latency response (MLR) from deaf subjects with normal vestibular function, and showed absent FFR and MLR in deaf subjects with hypovestibular function -Improved recordings following fenestration of SCC |

Term
List the two main types of vestibular responses which are measured using electrophysiology |
|
Definition
Compound action potentials generated by the peripheral vestibular system and its central pathway. Elicited by head motion/vestibular stimulation |
|
|
Term
Identify what type of neuron is measured during VsER |

Term
Discuss why vestibular evoked responses are not used clinically at this time |
|
Definition
There is no standard protocol and there are inconsistent results in human studies |

Term
List two methods of eliciting the cVEMP response |
|
Definition
A tone or tap on the head |
|
|
Term
Response of the cVemp and oVEMP: -cVEMP: Recording from the ___ muscle primarily gives us information -oVEMP: Information recorded from the ___ muscles primarily gives us information from from the saccule the utricle. Smaller magnitude of cVEMP; requires ___ amplification of the signal being recorded |
