Abstract

Background: Saccule is part of the vestibular organ that is responsible for balancing the linear acceleration saccular can be evaluated performance by cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs). This study aimed to determine the relationship between time delay and amplitude of the waves of cVEMPs with auditory training in deaf children of primary school age group of Hamadan in autumn 2014.

Materials and Methods: In this comparative cross-sectional study, the case group were children with profound hearing loss received six months of regular auditory training (n=20). The control group of children with profound hearing loss had no history of auditory training (n=20). Both of groups were evaluated by cVEMPs test.

Results:  T-test between the two groups showed no significant difference in the time delays of waves p13 and n23 (p = 0.15, f = 18.58 and p = 0.20, f = 23.32, respectively). However, the difference of the peak-to-peak amplitude of waves p13-n23 was significant (p = 0.00, f = 10.13).

Conclusion: Voice vocalization and more experience of hearing can strengthen the saccular performance.
