“…First, the proximity of the end organs of the auditory system and the vestibular system often results in common pathologies caused by one etiology. These include, for example, Meniere disease [ 15 ], and pathologies due to acoustic trauma [ 16 , 17 ], viral infections [ 18 ], and age-related changes in the cochlea and peripheral vestibular organs [ 19 , 20 ]. It was shown that in cases of vestibular loss, the role of auditory cues increases [ 21 ] and introducing auditory input in challenging conditions (standing on foam) can substantially reduce sway [ 22 ].…”

Introduction: Balance and postural control are related to hearing and hearing loss, but whether they can be improved with hearing aid use in older adults is not clear. We systematically reviewed controlled studies in which balance and hearing were tested in experienced older hearing aid users to determine the potential effects of hearing aid use on balance. Methods: The review was pre-registered in PROSPERO and performed in accordance with PRISMA. The question, inclusion, and exclusion criteria were defined using the Population, Intervention, Control, Outcomes and Study design (PICOS) framework. Older adults with hearing loss with no experience with hearing aids, or balance tests conducted without hearing aids in hearing aid users served as controls. Results: 803 studies were screened, eight of which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included in the final review. Five of the eight studies found a significant correlation between the use of hearing aids and the outcomes of the balance tests. The quality of the studies was limited or moderate. Key Discussion: The role of hearing aids in balance and postural control is unclear because of the quality of the papers and the sparse reporting of hearing status and hearing aids quality of fitting and use.
