“…Vestibular sensory cells of the semicircular canals and otolith organs or primary vestibular afferent neurons are possibly present in patients with IEMs to maintain a basic balance function, particularly CCD. These patients do not have difficulty in general activities that require dynamic balance and mobility [36] . In an embryological study, in the human fetal developmental stage, the vestibular system develops earlier than the cochlear system [37][38] .…”

“…Due to the close anatomical and developmental relationship between otolith end-organs and the cochlear, hearing impairment may lead to vestibular disorder [13] , but vestibular assessment is not routinely performed [14,15] . One of the reasons for this is the lack of clinically appropriate and effective assessment methods in the pediatric group and a gold standard test for the assessment of balance and postural control in children [16] . Another reason is that vestibular dysfunction can be compensated by other systems, and notably, abnormality in gait and motor coordination is not observed in children with IEMs [17] .…”

Objectives: In recent years, with the incidence of bilateral cochlear implantation (CI) increasing, understanding the impact of CI on otolith function is of greater necessity. This study aims to investigate the development of gross motor and otolith function in patients with inner ear malformations (IEMs) by vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP). Materials and Methods: A total of 78 patients with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) (age 5.7±4.1 years) were divided into two groups based on the presence (IEM group, n=39) or absence (control group, n=39) of IEMs. VEMP was conducted before and 1–3 months after CI, and gross motor development assessed. Results: The mean ages of head control and independent walking were delayed in the IEM group compared with control group ( p=0.02). The preoperative cVEMP and oVEMP response rates were higher in the control groups (60% and 86.95%) than in the IEM group (57.69% and 74.35%) ( p<0.05). Additionally, abnormal cVEMP was associated with delayed acquisition of independent walking ( p=0.017). Saccular and utricular functions after CI were lost by 40% and 31.75%, respectively, in group of patients present preoperatively VEMPs waveform (n=25). Conclusions: Balance development is more reduced in patients with SNHL and IEMs than in patients without IEMs. The otolith-vestibular nerve conduction pathway can be affected by CI and lead to otolith function impairment. As such, evaluating the otolith and balance functions before CI is necessary and should be considered in clinical practice.

Background: This research aimed to find internet information about hearing loss, hearing technology, and spoken language acquisition for Pakistani English-speaking families of deaf or hard-of-hearing children (DHH). Methods: The existence or lack of parent education material on various websites was investigated using an exploratory, descriptive methodology. The research looked at the many Internet resources available. Results: Many websites with information for parents of DHH children acquiring spoken communication were found to be international. Each website was examined in fifteen different content categories. These websites featured English content. According to the present research findings, internet resources for Pakistani English-speaking parents with DHH students struggling with spoken dialect are typically less and less and not deeply involved. Conclusion: A Paediatric English Linguistics Mediation on Spoken Language for Parents of Deaf Children with Hearing Problems in Pakistani English internet alternatives for Pakistani English-speaking parents of DHH children who are having difficulty with spoken dialect are becoming fewer and more uninvolved.

“…Dynamic Balance Dynamic balance was assessed in six trials [Farahani et al, 2013;Simon and Koku, 2017;Karakoc and Mujdeci, 2021]. Of these six trials, the I 2 overall index was equal to 61.23%, indicating that there was moderate heterogeneity between the six trials.…”

Comprehensive insights into balance control of individuals with hearing impairment are compared with individuals with hearing. Primary sources were obtained from 7 databases including PubMed, LILACS, SCOPUS, CINAHL, PEDro, CENTRAL, and Web of Science. The search period extended from inception until January 5, 2022. The systematic review included 24 studies and 27 trials, with a total of 2,148 participants. The meta-analysis showed a significant difference in the average balance control between individuals with hearing impairment and individuals with hearing, with individuals with hearing having a favorable advantage (p = 0.001). Additionally, average balance control was found to be in favor of individuals with hearing (p = 0.001) when comparing individuals with hearing impairment who participated in sports. Finally, individuals with hearing impairment who participated in sports demonstrated a significantly higher average difference in balance control (p = 0.001) when compared to sedentary people with hearing impairment. Our meta-analysis results indicate a balance defect in individuals with hearing impairment compared to individuals with hearing. In addition, with increasing age, the balance in individuals with hearing impairment improved. Additionally, the dependence of individuals with hearing impairment on the visual and proprioception systems to maintain balance increased. Finally, there was more dependence on the proprioception than the visual system, while individuals with hearing had stronger average balance control than individuals with hearing impairment who participated in sports, when compared to sedentary people with hearing impairment.
