VEMP (C, O) Test
Welcome to the Otofon India, where we are dedicated to offering state-of-the-art diagnostic services for comprehensive hearing and balance health. One of our advanced diagnostic tools is the VEMP (C, O) Test, a specialized assessment that provides valuable insights into the vestibular system.
What is VEMP?
VEMP, or Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials, is a diagnostic test designed to assess the health and function of the vestibular system, which plays a crucial role in balance and spatial orientation. The VEMP test specifically examines the myogenic potentials generated in response to sound stimuli.
Cervical (C) VEMP:
The Cervical VEMP assesses the function of the saccule, a part of the inner ear. Electrodes are placed on the neck muscles, and responses are recorded to evaluate the integrity of the vestibulospinal reflex.
Ocular (O) VEMP:
The Ocular VEMP focuses on the utricle, another component of the inner ear. By measuring eye muscle responses, this test helps in evaluating the utriculo-ocular reflex, providing valuable information about the utricular function.
