Purpose: This study aimed at comparing narrowband Claus Elberling level-specific chirp (NB CE-Chirp)–, click-, and tone burst–evoked masseteric vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (mVEMPs). Method: Within-group study design and purposive sampling were performed. A total of 25 normal-hearing individuals participated in the study. The zygomatic electrode montage was used to elicit ipsilateral mVEMP responses using a 500-Hz NB CE-Chirp, a click of 100-μs duration, and a 500-Hz tone burst stimulus. Each of the responses was analyzed based on the absolute peak latency of P11 and N21, the electromyography-scaled peak-to-peak amplitude of the P11–N21 complex, and the interaural asymmetry ratio. Results: A total of 50 ears were tested and had 100% mVEMP responses. The latencies of click-evoked and 500-Hz NB CE-Chirp–evoked mVEMPs were significantly shorter than those of 500-Hz tone burst–evoked mVEMPs ( p < .05) for both ears. It revealed a significantly superior P11–N21 amplitude of the 500-Hz NB CE-Chirp and tone burst than clicks for both ears. Intraclass correlation coefficient revealed moderate to excellent test–retest reliability for mVEMP parameters across three different stimulations. Conclusion: The present study supports 500 Hz NB CE-Chirps as effective and reliable stimuli as tone bursts in eliciting mVEMP responses.
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.
