Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to obtain data from subjects with normal hearing to allow the use of a new survey in the Brazilian population. This examination to evaluate the organ of 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 78 young adults. All data collection will take place over 1-year period. The vestibular evoked myogenic potentials will be captured in 156 ears of young adults with normal hearing, in the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the ipsilateral way through the averaging of 100 stimuli-tone b

The sample consists of 78 young adults. All data collection will take place over 1-year period. The vestibular evoked myogenic potentials will be captured in 156 ears of young adults with normal hearing, in the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the ipsilateral way through the averaging of 100 stimuli-tone bursts, frequency of 1000 Hz, intensity 95 dB HLN approximately for two hours. We used a specific equipment for capture potentials named EP25 of interacoustics.
