The existence of the so-called vestibular recruitment which is in many aspects similiar to the well knowit auditory recruitment has been already reported by Azzi (1953) and others. However, as to mechanism responsible for the occurrence of this phenomenon and its clinical value, no decisive conclusion has been drawn up to the present day. The author has studied this problem with a number of clinical observation. Results obtained are summarizedas follows :1. The vestibular recruitment does exist in a certain stage of M*ni*re's disease, or in reversible peripheral vestibular disturbance, but not in inner ear deafness with the exception of M*ni*r*'s disease.2. When the vestibular recruitment was present, the auditory recauitment was always present or sometimes cochlear damage could not be observed. In other words, there were many cases that showed only the vestibular recruitment without any symptom of cochlear damage.3. Generally, the incidence of the vestibular recruitment and the cochlear damage are intimately correlative. The lower the incidence of cochlear damage, the higher the incidence of the vestibular recruitment.
