Correlation of skull vibration-induced nystagmus test and video head impulse test in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss with vertigo.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The study aims to examine the agreement between the skull vibration-induced nystagmus test (SVINT), video head impulse test (vHIT), and caloric test (CaT) in detecting vestibular function asymmetry in patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss with vertigo (SSNHL-V).

Methods

This study included 71 patients with SSNHL-V and 20 healthy controls. All participants underwent comprehensive audiological and vestibular function assessments. This study evaluated the correlation between SVINT and CaT/vHIT in detecting vestibular asymmetry. Furthermore, we analyzed the correlation between SVINT findings and (1) the classification of audiograms, and (2) the degree of hearing loss in SSNHL patients with vertigo.

Results

The agreement between the result of
