A study of the prevalence of vestibulocochlear disorders in 4,825 patients showed that these disorders occurred during middle age and mostly affected women. The most frequent pathologies are vascular labyrinthitis, emotional disturbance, and the cervical syndrome. The study also demonstrated that each disease has a preferential age group, which varies according to the gender.
