Table 1. Means (±SD) peak-to-peak amplitude of cVEMPs induced by AC STB and clicks, and mean (±SD) peak-to-peak amplitude of oVEMPs induced by AC STB and BCV (AFz and mastoid), in healthy subjects, 63 patients with non-operated VS (affected and intact side) and 20 patients after surgery for VS (intact side).

*Significantly different to healthy subjects (t-test).

VS: vestibular schwanomma.

VEMPs: vestibular evoked myogenic potentials.

cVEMPs: cervical VEMPs.

oVEMPs: ocular VEMPs.

AC: air-conducted.

BCV: bone-conducted vibration.

STB: short-tone bursts.
