Abstract
Click-evoked vestibulocollic reflexes were studied in a patient with a unilateral Tullio phenomenon (sound induced vestibular symptoms) and the findings were compared with those of a group of normal subjects. Compared with normal subjects, the reflexes elicited from her symptomatic side were large and had an abnormally low threshold, but retained a normal waveform. The click-evoked responses in this patient show changes consistent with her symptomatology and are indicative of a pathological increase in the normal vestibular sensitivity to sound.
