Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of earphones on vestibulo-ocular reflex, vestibulo-spinal reflex, and reaction time among young adults.
College-going students age group = 18-25 years will be recruited for the study. Subjects will be asked to perform Oculocephalic reflex/ Doll’s Eye reflex Test to examine vestibulo-ocular reflex, the Fukuda Step Test to examine vestibulo-spinal reflex and reaction time will be examined through the Ruler drop test.Kolmogorov-Smirnov test will be used to determine normality. If the data is found to be normally distributed, the parametric test will be used. If the data is not found to be normally distributed, non-parametric tests, such as the Wilcoxon Signed rank test, will be used.
