Delayed absolute latencies of ABR and CAEPs waves were found. Amplitudes showed no significant difference between both groups. Positive correlation was found between ABR wave latencies and duration of DM. No correlation was found between ABR, CAEPs, and glycated hemoglobin.
Introduction:
There is increasing evidence that the loss of vestibular sensory information may change, possibly permanently, the way that cognitive processing areas of the brain integrate spatial and non-spatial information.
Objective:
We designed this research to assess attention by auditory P300 and memory by MMN in patients with peripheral vestibular hypofunction.
Materials and method:
The field included 40 subjects divided into two groups, a study group (SG) and a control group (CG). SG: consisted of 20 adult patients with unilateral uncompensated peripheral vestibular hypofunction. CG: consists of 20 normal individuals with normal vestibular function. All matters were submitted to basic audiological evaluation, VNG, P300 and MMN.
The results:
Our results presented that in patients with unilateral caloric hypofunction, auditory P300 and MMN showed prolonged latency and smaller amplitude than normal. These parameters were involved not simply in the ear ipsilateral to the affected side, but also the contralateral one.
Conclusions:
The results of our research confirm the view of the presence of cognitive affection in patient with peripheral vestibular lesion. This cognitive affection appeared in the form of attention and memory deficit.
Children with JIR had apparent normal peripheral hearing in conventional audiometry; sub-clinical sensory neural hearing loss was detected. This sub-clinical hearing loss appeared in statistically significant difference between them and normal in high-frequency audiometry and TOAEs. VNG test results showed affected tracking and second tests.
In monaural processing, pitch representation (F0 amplitude) and cross-phaseogram were the main affected domains. Speech phonemes of transient origin can be confused in subjects with UHL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
