Using BC stimuli, the vibration reaches the right (V_R) and the left (V_L) vestibular organ by approximately the same intensity at frequencies around 250 Hz.

Notes: Therefore, BC stimuli only needs to be applied from one side (BC_R), whereas with AC stimuli it must be applied from both sides (AC_R and AC_L) in order to evoke cVEMP response in both cervical muscles (SCM_R and SCM_L) or to evoke oVEMP in both orbital muscles (IOM_R and IOM_L).

Abbreviations: AC, air conduction; BC, bone conduction; cVEMP, cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential; IOM, inferior oblique orbital muscle; L, left; oVEMP, ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential; R, right; SCM, sternocleidomastoideus muscle, V, vibration.
