Abstract

By comparing the per-rotatory and the caloric tests, we can get important information regarding the stato-acoustic system.  Considering the different behaviour of the stato-acoustic system under the influences of the changing dynamics of the shape and the intensity of the supraliminal vestibular stimuli in tinnitus patients, we are trying to find a correlation between the abnormal vestibular dynamic response and the topodiagnostics of tinnitus. The different behaviour may point to the site of the lesion, peripheral or central.

We have investigated 3352 tinnitus patients from the NODEC V database considering the caloric test and the rotatory test.
