* Statistical significant difference
There was a statistically significant (p < 0.05) correlation between age and all bone conduction cVEMP parameters at 500 and 1000 Hz in both ears of the study participants except between age and the amplitude of right ear at 1000 Hz and age and the right FAR and rFAR. The significant correlation was an inverse correlation regarding amplitude
