Assessment of vestibular function of infants and children with congenital and acquired deafness using the ice-water caloric test, rotational chair test and vestibular-evoked myogenic potential recording.

abstract：:The efferent cochlear system, composed of both ipsi- and contralateral bundles, runs along with the vestibular nerve and may serve as protection for the inner ear. Sectioning of the vestibular nerve could thus create an experimental model for further in-depth study of such a protective role. A personal surgical approa...
