Resumen:
To develop an assessment protocol and establish reference values of vestibulo-ocular reflex gain of the
horizontal semicircular canal obtained with vHIT in a pediatric population without vestibular changes.Methods:
Quantitative, non-experimental, analytical study with a non-probabilistic convenience sample. A total of 39
subjects aged 5 to 17 years were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The mean gain
obtained of the horizontal right semicircular canal was 0.93 and of the left one, 1.08, with statistically significant
differences between the ears. There were no statistically significant differences between the 5-to-10-year and
11-to-17-year subgroups. Conclusion: The vestibulo-ocular reflex gain in children neared the values found
in the international scientific literature and the adult population. The protocol developed can guide beginning
professionals in the otoneurological evaluation of children
