title: [Influence on vestibular function caused by acute low-tone sensorineural hearing loss].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the vestibular function of patients with acute low-tone sensorineural hearing loss (ALHL). So we can know whether their vestibular function was influence.
  
  
  METHODS
  Vestibular function tests were performed on fifty-two ALHL patients by recording electronystagmography (ENG) and static posturography (SPG) before and after their therapy. Then made a comparison with normal.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Length of locus and velocity of postural sway of the ALHL subjects were significantly increased in comparison with normal (P < 0.05) when eyes closed. After therapy, two (3.8%) ALHL subjects were still recorded abnormal ENG results.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Most ALHL subjects without vertigo symptom, but their vestibular function was abnormal, so vestibular function tests should be performed on patients with ALHL.
