Why and How to test the vestibular function in hearing impaired children?

Vestibular involvement is present in nearly half of hearing-impaired children, yet often remains underdiagnosed.

In this clinically focused session, Dr. Wiener-Vacher will discuss:

  • The adapted paediatric vestibular test battery from 2 months of age
  • Comprehensive canal assessment (caloric test, vHIT, rotational chair)
  • Otolith function testing (cVEMP, oVEMP)
  • Identification of complete bilateral vestibular loss
  • Consequences on postural control, motor acquisition and learning
  • The role of vestibular status in guiding early rehabilitation and cochlear implantation decisions

This webinar aims to provide practical clinical insights to support early diagnosis and optimized management pathways in paediatric hearing care.
