Abstract: Objective To study the characteristics of air-conducted ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential(AC-oVEMP)and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential(AC-cVEMP)in normal Chinese children. Methods Fifty-two 4-10-year-old children with normal hearing(male 30, female11, 104 female)were recruited. Using 500-Hz air-conducted pure tone burst as a stimulus, oVEMP and cVEMP were assessed. The response rates and waveform parameters of the left and right ears were recorded and analyzed statistically using SPSS software. Results The respective findings for oVEMP and cVEMP were as follows: response rates: 92% and 96%; P1 latencies:(17.07±0.89)ms and(15.55±1.58)ms; N1 latencies:(12.39±0.91)ms and(23.10±2.29)ms; N1P1 latencies:(4.68±0.88)ms and(7.83±1.56)ms; amplitudes:(7.24±4.79)μV and(197.40±118.37)μV; interaural asymmetry ratios(AR,%):(19.03±12.50)% and(22.16±18.64)%. There were no significant differences between the latencies, N1P1 latencies, or amplitudes of the left and right ears(P>0.05). Conclusion oVEMP and cVEMP can be elicited by the stimuli of air-conducted pure tone bursts in the majority of normal children. They can be used to evaluate vestibular function, as they are feasible and compliance in children is high. The results provide the normal reference range of VEMP for children in China.
