title: [Evaluation of the ear and vestibular apparatus depending on the anatomy of the cervical spine].
abstract: Function of the acoustic organ and the vestibular organ in correlation from radiograph of cervical spinal column was examined in 102 patients aged 20-68 years, of both sexes. The obtained results of audiometric and electronystagmographic investigations have shown that the greatest disorders of function of the acoustic organ and the vestibular organ was at the patients with osteophytes and discopathy in cervical spinal column. Impaired hearing and vestibular disorders was observed also at the patients with normal radiograph of cervical spinal column. The authors have thought that the above deviations can be caused by irritation even the discreet degeneration of cervical spinal column, which ones conduct to increased tension of sympathetic system.
