Abstract Objective The purpose of the present study was to explore the effect of plateau duration in eliciting masseter vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (mVEMPs) in healthy individuals with hearing sensitivity ≤ 15dBHL. Method A within-subjects design was utilized in the study. Therefore, ipsilateral tone burst evoked mVEMPs were obtained from 30 healthy individuals using the zygomatic montage at 500 Hz tone bursts. Self-monitoring biofeedback was given during the procedure to confirm the tension of the masseter muscle. mVEMPs were recorded across three different plateau duration from 0 to 2 ms with rise/fall time of 2 ms at 95dBnHL. Hence the median and interquartile range were calculated for descriptive analysis of the data followed by non-parametric inferential statistics. Results Tone burst evoked mVEMPs were found to be 100% present across all three plateau durations for both ears at 95 dBnHL. P11 and N21 latencies increased with longer plateau durations in both ears. There were no significant differences in P11-N21 peak-to-peak amplitude or interaural amplitude ratio (IAAR) observed across different plateau durations. IAAR was lowest for a 2 ms plateau duration in the 2–2-2 cycle. No significant variations were found across the three plateau durations. Conclusion Significant differences in P11 and N21 latencies were observed across the three stimulus cycles, while no significant differences were found for P11N21 amplitude and IAAR. Yet, there was found to have the highest amplitude and lowest IAAR for 2–2-2 cycle than 2–0-2 and 2–1-2, suggesting it to be the optimal stimulus among the three of them. |
