First seen Mar 17, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study looked at 98 adults with severe-to-profound hearing loss to see if they also have balance issues. Since the inner ear controls both hearing and balance, researchers used special tests to measure vestibular (balance) function. The goal was to understand how often balance problems occur alongside serious hearing loss.
