Brief summary

This study aims to obtain data from subjects with normal hearing. These data will allow the use of a new survey in the Brazilian population. This test evaluates the body's balance and makes the diagnosis of diseases such as dizziness.

Interventions

In this study was performed the investigation of vestibular evoked myogenic potential in a young population with normal hearing. The examinations was conducted in only one day for each participant. The sample consists of 80 young adults. All data collection will take place over 1-year period. The vestibular evoked myogenic potentials will be captured in 160 ears of young adults with normal hearing, in the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the ipsilateral way through the averaging of 200 stimuli-tone b

In this study was performed the investigation of vestibular evoked myogenic potential in a young population with normal hearing. The examinations was conducted in only one day for each participant. The sample consists of 80 young adults. All data collection will take place over 1-year period. The vestibular evoked myogenic potentials will be captured in 160 ears of young adults with normal hearing, in the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the ipsilateral way through the averaging of 200 stimuli-tone bursts, frequency of 250 Hz, intensity 95 dB HLN. We used a specific equipment for capture potentials named EP25 of interacoustics.
