Abstract
The frequency-tuning properties of the otolith system are driven by the mass and stiffness of the organs and can vary depending on several factors such as age and disease. Although vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) responses can be extremely variable in terms of amplitude, depending on the stimulus used, they can offer helpful insight into different disease processes. What is challenging is that, in the vestibular laboratory, clinicians are often attempting to gather as much diagnostic data as possible in a limited amount of time.
