Postural control assessment in students with normal hearing and sensorineural hearing loss

Abstract: Students with sensorineural hearing loss showed greater instability in the postural control compared to normal hearing students of the same gender and age.

“…Hearing damage can occur due to diseases, infections or vestibular damage producing hearing loss. This problem can interfere with the sensorimotor function, causing delays for hearing impaired (HI) children, in their psychomotor development, i.e., motor skill, balance, dynamic coordination, visual-motor coordination performance, among other aspects [2,3,4,5]. …”

“…Thus, the unceasing inputs coming from the visual, vestibular and proprioceptive systems provide the brain with information of spatial context, head movement and position, and movement and position of the different body segments, respectively, which is crucial for posture maintenance and balance. HI children show higher postural instability and less ample head movements than NH children, which may indicate damage of the vestibular system [3,18]. Postural stability of HI individuals improves with adaptive sensory compensation (visual and vestibular) [19]; thus, HI children may benefit from exercise programs aimed at improving the body posture maintenance and balance control [20].…”

“…The third source of potential improvement in localisation ability lies in the fact that the BAHA device may participate via new proprioceptual inputs to the definition of the body map allowing modification of the sound depth perception as well as the sound localisation. Recent studies have pointed out the relationship between deafness and posture with a higher incidence of postural changes in the spine. Concerning the relationship with motor performance, it has been reported that children with hearing loss had greater limitation when compared listeners in manual skills (62%), ball skills (52%) and body balance skills (45%) .…”

“…These studies showed that the larger the degree of HL, the greater the postural instabilities and balance changes in children with SNHL. 8 9 10 11 12 In adults and in the elderly with and without HL, changes in postural balance were also found in these populations. 6 13 14 The same is true for individuals with HL when fitted with a hearing aid 15 16 or cochlear implant users with good hearing performance.…”
