Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Detection of sensorineural hearing loss in the patients. The audiometry, tympanometry and stapes reflex tests will be used for this examination.[After ear nose throat examination, the hearing test of the individuals will be performed by the audiologist.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
In order to detection of vestibular pathology, balance test (VEMP, VHIT) will be performed to individuals. Especially, it is important that the waves of VEMP are not obtained or detecting the increased latency time of waves or detection of asymmetric in semicircular canal's gain.[After the hearing test, the balance test of the individuals will be performed by the audiologist. ]
