Abstract
The article discusses some of the bright pages in the history of vestibulology in the twentieth century, marked by the bold scientific aspirations of the vestibulologists of that time and associated with the achievements of these outstanding scientists. The article is a series of separately published parts. The first chapter is devoted to the rapid development of clinical vestibulology at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries and the role in this process of such prominent vestibulologists as S.F. Stein, R. Barani, V.I. Voyachek. Attention is drawn to the features inherent in this period, among which are scientific controversy, “polyphony” of opinions, the introduction of a large number of methods for studying the vestibular analyzer. It is noted that in subsequent years there was a “crystallization” of research methods and the selection of the most informative of them to our days (as an example, the Barany caloric test). The conclusion is made about the development of clinical vestibulology as an important feature inherent in otorhinolaryngology of that time.
