Balance trouble linked to reading struggles in kids with hearing loss
NCT ID NCT05414903
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether inner-ear balance (vestibular) problems make reading harder for children with hearing loss. Researchers will test 90 children, some with normal hearing and some with severe hearing loss, measuring their ability to see clearly during head movements and their reading skills. The goal is to understand how balance issues contribute to reading difficulties, which could lead to better screening and support for these children.
