Sudden bilateral hearing loss after vestibular‐evoked myogenic potentials

Abstract

Abstract This case report presents bilateral hearing loss after vestibular‐evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) testing. The loud acoustic stimulus used in VEMP testing can cause noise‐induced hearing loss in some cases with high sensitivity to noise exposure or by exceeding individual cochlear safety thresholds.
