Description and primary results from an audiometric study of male twins.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether the use of visual feedback of tonic electromyographic (EMG) activity, or the use of amplitude normalization techniques would reduce significantly the variability in cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) P13-N23 interaural amplitude as...
