Abstract
Tullio first reported that surgical fenestration of the bony labyrinth in avians and mammals made the labyrinth sound-sensitive [1-3]. This phenomenon-sound sensitivity of the vestibular system-has been known as the Tullio phenomenon [3, 4]. Bekesy reported head movements in response to relatively loud sounds [3, 5] and suggested that this effect might be caused by stimulation of the otolith organs.
