Summary:[LANGUAGE= "English"] INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the normal values of vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMPs) in healthy children by the head rotation method.METHODS: 109 children ages 6–11 years with normal hearing underwent cVEMP testing with alternating clicks at intensities of 80, 85, 90, 95, and 100 dB levels by using averaged, unrectified electromyograms recorded by a surface electrode on the sternocleidomastoid muscle ipsilateral to the stimulus. The P1 output latency, peak latencies of P1 and N1, P1-N1 peak-to-peak amplitude, and asymmetry ratio were measured.RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences between groups regarding interpeak amplitudes, P1 output latency, P1 latency (p>0.05). Whereas, the latency of N1 showed a statistically significant positive correlation with age (in group III, 25.04±2.34, in group II, 23.63±2.10, and in group III, 23.77±1.90, p
