Gentamicin vestibulotoxicity impairs human electrically evoked vestibulo-ocular reflex

Abstract

Impairment of evoked vestibulo-ocular reflex (eVOR) in gentamicin vestibulotoxicity (GV) suggests that vestibular hair cells, activated by electrical stimulation, mediate the eVOR. Abnormalities of the eVOR, especially the phasic component, might be a marker of vestibular injury in GV.
