[Myotonia-rectified bone-conducted vibration vestibular evoked myogenic potential in normal adults].

To study the characteristics of bone-conducted vibration vestibular evoked myogenic potential（BCV-VEMP） in normal adult with and without myotonia rectification, and to provide accurate reference for clinical vestibular function evaluation. Thirty normal adults（60 ears） aged 20-32 years old were selected to receive BCV-VEMP in a sitting position. BCV-VEMP were induced by B-81 bone-conducted vibrator at 129.5 FL, the P1 latency, N1 latency, P1-N1interval, amplitude, and amplitude asymmetry ratios were recorded in two test conditions. Clear and repeatable waveforms of BCV-cVEMP and BCV-oVEMP were obtained in all normal adults. The P1 and N1 latencies of BCV-cVEMP were（16.00±2.02） ms and（25.04±2.57） ms, respectively, P1-N1 interval was（9.04±1.78） ms. The N1 and P1 latencies of BCV-oVEMP were（10.39±0.81） ms and（15.85±1.00） ms, respectively, iand interval was（5.46±0.86） ms. The amplitudes of BCV-cVEMP and BCV-oVEMP in two test conditions were statistically significant（<0.05）. The amplitude asymmetry ratios of BCV-cVEMP and BCV-oVEMP after rectification were （17.03±9.14）% and （20.43±11.65）%, respectively. BCV-VEMP is a feasible and reliable tool for vestibular function assessment. The establishment of a normal values such as amplitude and amplitude asymmetry ratio after rectification can provide a more reliable and accurate reference.
