简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the effects of different masking conditions on cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) responses. Vertical-axis vibrations (VAVs) of 500-Hz short-tone bursts (STB500) and 750-Hz short-tone bursts (STB750) were used to elicit cVEMP responses. These stimuli were delivered through a Mini-Shaker placed at the vertex (Cz) under three masking conditions: no masking (NOM), speech noise masking (SNM), and random interstimulus-interval tone bursts (rISITB). The study focused on testing protocols that can potentially improve unilateral VEMP testing and explore its clinical applicability.
详细描述
Participants and Ethics:
The study recruited 20 healthy adults (10 males and 10 females, aged 20-37 years), all of whom had normal otoscopic findings and no history of hearing issues. Ethical approval was obtained, and all participants provided informed consent.
Bone Conduction Vibrations (BCV):
Bone-conducted vibrations were generated using a SmartEP system and delivered via a Mini-Shaker transducer. Stimuli included 500 Hz and 750 Hz short-tone bursts (STB500 and STB750), calibrated to appropriate levels, with specific rise, plateau, and fall times.
Masking Conditions:

主要结局
Vemp response rate
时间窗: up to 24 weeks
This study investigates VEMP response rates under different frequencies (500 Hz, 750 Hz) and masking conditions (no masking, speech noise, random tone bursts) to evaluate the effects of masking on VEMP responses.
