This study was conducted on 20 patients with chronic otitis media preoperatively and postoperatively and 20 controls. All subject age ranged from 20 to 50 years. Each subject underwent history taking, otologic examination, basic audiological evaluation, air and bone conducted vestibular evoked myogenic potentials. All perforated ears showed a lost air conduction VEMP response pre operatively without post-operative improvement. This could be due to absence of any statistically significant differences between the pre-operative and post-operative air bone gaps at all of the tested frequencies. Bone conduction VEMP was preserved in all CSOM cases pre-operatively and post-operatively UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
