“…Considerably less is known about the symptoms and functional impacts of vestibular dysfunction in children, especially congenital or early-onset vestibular dysfunction. Vestibular dysfunction in children has been reported to lead to developmental delays (Masuda & Kaga 2014; Kimura et al 2018), dizziness (Gioacchini et al 2014; Wiener-Vacher et al 2018), and even reading difficulties (Braswell & Rine 2006; Sartori Franco & Panhoca 2007). Some researchers hypothesize that there is a higher rate of cochlear implant failure in children with concomitant vestibular loss due to falls (Wolter et al 2015; Hänsel et al 2018).…”

Objectives:The objective of this study was to understand the functional impact of vestibular dysfunction on balance control in children with hearing loss. The vestibular system is an important contributor to maintaining balance. In adults, vestibular dysfunction is known to lead to unsteadiness and falls. Considerably less is known about the effects of vestibular dysfunction in children with hearing loss. Design:We conducted a systematic review in concordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. We included articles on children with hearing loss who underwent vestibular and balance testing. The Downs and Black checklist was used to assess the risk of bias.Results: A total of 20 articles were included in this systematic review, of which, 17 reported an association between vestibular dysfunction and balance abnormalities in children with hearing loss. Bias (as measured by the Downs and Black Checklist) was a concern, as most studies were nonblinded cohort studies or case series selected through convenience sampling. Conclusions:Research to date has predominantly found that children with concomitant hearing loss and vestibular impairment tend to perform more poorly on balance measures than either children with hearing loss and normal vestibular function or children with both normal-hearing and normal vestibular function. A standardized approach to assessing both vestibular function and balance would better characterize the impact of vestibular dysfunction in children with hearing loss at the population level.

Purpose: Acquired vestibulotoxicity from hospital-prescribed medications such as aminoglycoside antibiotics affects as many as 40,000 people each year in North America. However, there are no current federally approved drugs to prevent or treat the debilitating and permanent loss of vestibular function caused by bactericidal aminoglycoside antibiotics. This review will cover our current understanding of the impact of, and mechanisms underlying, aminoglycoside-induced vestibulotoxicity and highlight the gaps in our knowledge that remain. Conclusions: Aminoglycoside-induced vestibular deficits have long-term impacts on patients across the lifespan. Additionally, the prevalence of aminoglycoside-induced vestibulotoxicity appears to be greater than cochleotoxicity. Thus, monitoring for vestibulotoxicity should be independent of auditory monitoring and encompass patients of all ages from young children to older adults before, during, and after aminoglycoside therapy.

Abstract: Dizziness, nausea, reading and copying difficulties presented a statistically significant relationship between the studied variables. All found vestibular alterations had been of peripheral irritative origin. Data showed a statistically significant relationship among variables.
