Performing 239 electronystagmographic recordings with rotating acoustical stimulation in persons with normal hearing and in deaf persons, we found the following. (1) There are large sinus-like eye deviations and a series of direction-changing beats, produced by following the acoustic stimuli with closed eyes. (2) In no case did we find any sign of a vestibular response to sound. The recorded eye movements to a certain extent are comparable to optokinetic nystagmus. (3) The audiokinetic eye movements seem to be useful for testing directional hearing.
