Summary

This study looked at 98 adults with severe-to-profound hearing loss to see if they also have balance problems. Since the inner ear controls both hearing and balance, researchers used special tests to measure how well the balance system works. The goal was to understand if hearing loss is linked to hidden balance issues, which could help improve care.
