ABSTRACT:

Aim

Otosclerosis is one of the common otologic diseases. The mechanism and the probable site of vestibular involvement are not yet fully understood. The present study aimed to perform a comprehensive vestibular evaluation in patients with otosclerosis, compared to the cases without otosclerosis.

Materials and methods

patients underwent a comprehensive cochleovestibular evaluation, including audiometry, ocular and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (o-VEMP and c-VEMP), video head impulse (vHIT) and caloric tests. The results were compared with those obtained from the non-otosclerosis control group.

Results
