However, there is dearth of studies regarding its utility in differential diagnosis\n of Meniere\u2019s disease from other vestibular pathologies.<jats:bold>Purpose:<\/jats:bold>The present study aimed at investigating the feasibility of frequency tuning of oVEMP in discriminating Meniere\u2019s disease from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).<jats:bold>Research Design:<\/jats:bold>Static group comparison.<jats:bold>Study\n Sample:<\/jats:bold>oVEMPs were acquired from 36 individuals, each with unilateral Meniere\u2019s disease and unilateral BPPV. Thirty-six age- and gender-matched healthy individuals formed comparison group for each of the two clinical groups.<jats:bold>Intervention:<\/jats:bold>Contralateral oVEMPs were recorded from\n both ears of all the participants.<jats:bold>Data Collection and Analyses:<\/jats:bold>The responses pertaining to octave and mid-octave frequencies from 250 to 4000 Hz, one frequency presented at a time, were recorded from infra-orbital electrodes (noninverting placed 1 cm below the lower eyelid and inverting\n 2 cm below the inverting on the cheek) with forehead as ground. Starting intensity was 125 dB peSPL with subsequent reductions in 10-dB steps to arrive at threshold. The stimuli were delivered to the ear at a rate of 5.1 Hz. The frequency corresponding to the largest peak-to-peak amplitude,\n best threshold, and\/or largest peak-to-peak amplitude at thresholds was considered as the tuning frequency. Proportions of ears with frequency tuning at a particular frequency were compared between the groups<jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>The frequency tuning at 1000 Hz was found to exist in a significantly\n higher proportion of affected ears with Meniere\u2019s disease than the comparison group as well as ears with BPPV (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). Using a criterion point of frequency tuning at 875 Hz, the sensitivity and specificity for identifying Meniere\u2019s disease was found to be 68% and 100%,\n respectively.<jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>The shift in frequency tuning is an efficient parameter for not only discriminating Meniere\u2019s disease from healthy individuals but also distinguishing it from BPPV. Therefore, frequency tuning is recommended as a test parameter of oVEMP for identification\n of Meniere\u2019s disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3766\/jaaa.15141","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,1]],"date-time":"2016-04-01T07:42:44Z","timestamp":1459496564000},"page":"764-777","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Utility of the Frequency Tuning Measure of oVEMP in Differentiating Meniere\u2019s Disease from BPPV"],"prefix":"10.3766","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Niraj Kumar","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Animesh","family":"Barman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2087","container-title":["Journal of the American Academy of Audiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ingentaconnect.com\/content\/aaa\/jaaa\/2016\/00000027\/00000009\/art00008","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,6]],"date-time":"2025-02-06T08:04:53Z","timestamp":1738829093000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ingentaconnect.com\/content\/10.3766\/jaaa.15141"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,1]]}},"alternative-id":["1050-0545(20161001)27:9L.764;1-"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3766\/jaaa.15141","relation":{},"ISSN":["1050-0545"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1050-0545","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,1]]}}}
