Demographic Variations in VEMP Responses: A Cross-Sectional Study of Normative Data from an Indian Population.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to establish normative data for cervical (cVEMP) and ocular (oVEMP) vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in the Indian population, with a focus on assessing demographic variations across different age groups and genders. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted from January 2023 to December 2023 at a tertiary care center, involving 40 participants with normal hearing thresholds. Standardized cVEMP and oVEMP tests were performed using 500 Hz tone bursts at 95-115 dB nHL. VEMP responses, including latency and amplitude, were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and Kruskal-Wallis tests to determine normative ranges and assess the impact of age and gender. The study established normative VEMP thresholds at about 105 dB for cervical (cVEMP) a
