- Original description
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the vestibular function in children with unilateral or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The main hypothesis of the study is that abnormal vestibular test results will be found in 20-30 % of the children with sensorineural hearing loss. The participants will be children in the age of 3-10 years with sensorineural hearing loss. The test protocol consists of questionnaires and vestibular and postural assessments.Read full original descriptionShow less
Vestibular ASsessment In Children - Balance Function in Normal Children and Specific Risk Groups (VASIC)
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the vestibular function in children with unilateral or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The main hypothesis of the study is that abnormal vestibular test results will be found in 20-30 % of the children with sensorineural hearing loss. The participants will be children in the age of 3-10 years with sensorineural hearing loss. The test protocol consists of questionnaires and vestibular and postural assessments.
Inclusion: Children in the age of 3-10 years; Uni- or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss > 20 dB bone conduction pure tone average measured at frequencies 0.5, 1, 2, 4 kHz; Written informed consent from the parents.
Exclusion: Previous inner ear surgery; Visual impairment to such a degree that the child is not able to maintain fixation on a dot one meter away; VEMP-electrode allergy; History of symptomatic head or neck trauma; Congenital nystagmus; Compromised eye muscle mobility; Prescription of medicine which alters vestibular outputs (for instance sedative antihistamines).
