Abstract

Purpose: The present study examined masseteric vestibular evoked myogenic potential (mVEMP) responses in children and compared these results with those of adults, using both air- and bone-conduction modes of stimulation.

Method: Fifteen children and fifteen adults with hearing thresholds below 15 dB HL were considered for the study. Ipsilateral 500-Hz narrow-band chirp (NB CE-chirp) evoked mVEMP responses were elicited via a zygomatic montage through both air- and bone-conduction modes of stimulation. Therefore, the recorded responses were analyzed for various mVEMP parameters, namely, absolute P11 and N21 peak latencies, the peak-to-peak amplitude of the P11-N21 complex, and the interaural asymmetry ratio.

Results: NB CE-chirp-evoked mVEMPs were 100% present at 500 Hz using both air- and bone-conduction modes of stimulation. No significant differences were found in mVEMP parameters between ears, genders, or modes of stimulation in both children and adults. However, a significant P11-N21 amplitude difference was observed between the two groups.

Conclusion: The findings of the study highlighted the need to incorporate age-appropriate reference values for interpreting mVEMP responses for children and adults across air- and bone-conduction modes.

儿童与成人咬肌前庭诱发肌源电位的比较研究。

目的：本研究检查了儿童咬肌前庭诱发肌源电位（mVEMP）反应，并将这些结果与成人的结果进行了比较，使用空气和骨传导刺激模式。方法：选择听力阈值低于15 dB HL的15名儿童和15名成人作为研究对象。通过空气和骨传导两种刺激方式，通过颧蒙太奇诱导同侧500 hz窄带啁啾（NB - ce -啁啾）诱发mVEMP反应。因此，对记录的响应进行了mVEMP参数分析，即P11和N21峰的绝对潜伏期、P11-N21复合物的峰间振幅和耳间不对称比。结果：在空气和骨传导两种刺激模式下，NB ce啁啾诱发的mVEMPs在500 Hz时100%存在。在儿童和成人中，mVEMP参数在耳朵、性别或刺激模式之间没有显著差异。然而，两组之间P11-N21振幅差异显著。结论：该研究结果强调了在解释儿童和成人通过空气和骨传导模式的mVEMP反应时，需要纳入与年龄相适应的参考值。

期刊介绍： Mission: AJA publishes peer-reviewed research and other scholarly articles pertaining to clinical audiology methods and issues, and serves as an outlet for discussion of related professional and educational issues and ideas. The journal is an international outlet for research on clinical research pertaining to screening, diagnosis, management and outcomes of hearing and balance disorders as well as the etiologies and characteristics of these disorders. The clinical orientation of the journal allows for the publication of reports on audiology as implemented nationally and internationally, including novel clinical procedures, approaches, and cases. AJA seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work. Scope: The broad field of clinical audiology, including audiologic/aural rehabilitation; balance and balance disorders; cultural and linguistic diversity; detection, diagnosis, prevention, habilitation, rehabilitation, and monitoring of hearing loss; hearing aids, cochlear implants, and hearing-assistive technology; hearing disorders; lifespan perspectives on auditory function; speech perception; and tinnitus.
