First seen Jan 20, 2026 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study tests a new device that combines a cochlear implant (for hearing) with a vestibular implant (for balance) in 13 people who have lost most of their balance function and have severe hearing loss. The implant aims to improve stability, reduce dizziness, and sharpen vision during movement. Participants first use the device in the hospital for 3 weeks, then at home for 15 months to see if it safely and effectively restores balance.
