Implementation of a Standard Vestibular Screening Protocol for Hearing-impaired Infants in Flanders
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) for Vestibular Disorder and Hearing Impaired Children. Completed, enrolled 301 participants across 19 sites.
Detailed Summary
Hearing-impaired children are at risk for a vestibular impairment, as the auditory and vestibular end organs are closely related. Although this can compromise a child's development on many levels, vestibular testing is not routinely performed in this vulnerable group. This project aims to give each congenitally hearing-impaired child in Flanders (Belgium) access to a basic vestibular screening at a young age and set an example for other regions worldwide.

Timeline
Interventions
cVEMPs are ipsilateral, short latency, inhibitory myogenic potentials that assess otolith (mainly saccular) function and the integrity of the inferior branch of the vestibular nerve.
