الوصف:	The effect of low-frequency sound (LFS) on postural stability was studied in 55 healthy volunteers and in 152 patients with vertigo due to different types of inner ear disease. The sound pressure levels ranged from 130 to 132 dB and were given at frequencies of 25, 50, and 63 Hz. The duration of each stimulation lasted 30 seconds. The postural responses were measured with a force platform. The LFS stimulation improved the postural stability of the healthy subjects through the alerting response. We did not observe any difference in the body sway according to whether the LFS was delivered with monaural or binaural stimulation. Twenty-six percent of the patients with Meniere's disease, 40% with chronic otitis media with vertigo, and 26% with vertigo of peripheral origin experienced significant postural instability at least at two of the three test frequencies during stimulation with LFS. The results demonstrate that in subjects with different types of inner ear disease the vestibular system starts to respond to LFS. The activation of vestibulospinal responses by LFS seems to be an expression of the Tullio phenomenon.
