acromegaly audiology

Description

This prospective study included 33 healthy controls and 33 acromegaly patients who were matched for age and gender distribution. A pure-tone audiometry test was conducted, including frequencies ranging from 250 Hz to 8000 Hz. Videonystagmography (VNG) was employed to assess nystagmus, an essential parameter used for assessing vestibular functions. The Video Head Impulse Test (v-HIT) was used to assess the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) was applied to evaluate the subjective complaints of the participants.
