Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the vestibular function of patients with acute low-tone sensorineural hearing loss (ALHL). So we can know whether their vestibular function was influence.
METHOD:Vestibular function tests were performed on fifty-two ALHL patients by recording electronystagmography (ENG) and static posturography (SPG) before and after their therapy. Then made a comparison with normal.
RESULT:Length of locus and velocity of postural sway of the ALHL subjects were significantly increased in comparison with normal (P < 0.05) when eyes closed. After therapy, two (3.8%) ALHL subjects were still recorded abnormal ENG results.
CONCLUSION:Most ALHL subjects without vertigo symptom, but their vestibular function was abnormal, so vestibular function tests should be performed on patients with ALHL.
