“…Our results affirm the findings of previous studies [1,11,24] by finding that the worse the degree of HL, the more likely the child to have VD. In contrast, Raj and Gupta [34] and Pajor et al [35] reported no effect of the severity of HL on VD. The disagreement could be explained by the following.…”

“…First, the latter two studies included only children with severe to profound HL, thus the effect of the severity of HL might not appear since there is no big difference between these two degrees of HL in terms of the threshold of HL, while in the current study, the degree of HL ranged from mild to profound HL. Second, the use of different assessment tools, for instance, Raj and Gupta [34] used only caloric testing to assess the vestibular system whereas this test was not used in the current study, but rather other vestibular assessments as mentioned in the methods. Third, it was reported in the literature that the cause of HL is associated with increasing the risk of VD; while acquired HL such as meningitis could cause VD, congenital HL is less likely to be associated with VD [36,37].…”

“…Third, it was reported in the literature that the cause of HL is associated with increasing the risk of VD; while acquired HL such as meningitis could cause VD, congenital HL is less likely to be associated with VD [36,37]. Raj and Gupta [34], for instance, included only children with congenital nonsyndromic SNHL, hence their risk of having VD is lower and this was shown by the low prevalence of VD (18.75%). However, the cause of HL was not investigated in the current study.…”

Background: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is expected to negatively affect vestibular functions since the cochlea and the vestibular system are interconnected anatomically and physiologically. This study aimed to (1) assess the vestibular functions in hearing-impaired (HI) children who have no symptoms of vestibular dysfunction (VD), (2) investigate a possible association between the severity of SNHL and the presence of VD. Methods: Sixty-sex children aged 6-18 years old and free of VD were included. Participants were divided into two groups (Control group: 33 normal-hearing children, Study group: 33 HI children). HI children were divided into three subgroups (mild, moderate, and severe-profound SNHL) for the purpose of the study. All children underwent a set of audiological and vestibular assessments including pure tone audiometry, vedionystagmography (VNG), cervical and ocular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP, oVEMP), and video head impulse tests (vHIT). Results: In terms of the results of the VNG, no statistically significant difference was found between the control and study groups. However, a statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in cVEMP and oVEMP latencies, amplitudes, and asymmetry ratio and in the gain of vHIT. Moreover, a statistically significant difference was found between the 3 subgroups in cVEMP, oVEMP, and vHIT revealing that the more the severity of HL, the more VD was identified. Conclusions: VD is prevalent in HI children. An association was found between the severity of SNHL and the presence of VD in children regardless of the absence of vestibular symptoms.

“…Abnormality in otolith function was reported in 2 fairquality studies (40,49), to be between 17 and 33% in children with SNHL. The high-quality studies (15,20,21,25,52), reported a prevalence of vestibular dysfunction between 7.5 and 96.1%. Hyporeflexia of the vestibular system, which encompasses the terms: "areflexia, " "decreased response to..., " "decreased reaction to.…”

“…The vestibular end organs are anatomically connected to the cochlea and share the same origin embryologically. Therefore, children suffering from SNHL may exhibit abnormalities of the vestibular system (21,22). Almost, 20 to 70% of children with SNHL present with an element of vestibular end-organ dysfunction (22).…”

Prevalence of Vestibular Dysfunction in Children With Neurological Disabilities: A Systematic Review

et al. 2019

Background: In children with neurological or neurodevelopmental conditions, vestibular disorders may co-exist with the primary condition and further contribute to disability and restriction in functional independence and participation. Awareness of their existence may favor an early diagnosis and better treatment outcomes. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of vestibular dysfunction in children and adolescents (3-21 years old) diagnosed with either cerebral palsy (CP), traumatic brain injury (TBI), sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), or cochlear implantations (CI). Methods: Four researchers systematically reviewed the literature from three databases (EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL) until June 2018. Results: Twenty-four studies were analyzed in this systematic review. A single, high-quality study reports a prevalence of 48.4% of spastic CP children having a saccular dysfunction. Three fair-quality studies report a prevalence of 14.6-81%, 21 days post-TBI. Twelve poor-to-high quality studies demonstrate a prevalence of 18.7-96.1% in children with SNHL. A prevalence range of 3-84% in children with CI is reported by nine fair-to-high quality studies. Conclusion: Clinicians should be aware of the prevalence of vestibular dysfunction in these populations and implement appropriate assessments to improve treatment outcomes.
