Abstract:Objectives: Video head impulse test (v-HIT) is a quick, non-invasive and relatively cheap test to evaluate vestibular function compared to the caloric test. The latter is, however, needed to decide on the optimal side to perform cochlear implantation to avoid the risk on inducing a bilateral vestibular areflexia. This study evaluates the effectiveness of using the v-HIT to select cochlear implant (CI) candidates who require subsequent caloric testing before implantation, in that way reducing costs and patient … Show more
“…The recent introduction of three-dimensional video HIT (3D vHIT) has made it possible to efficiently assess the integrity of all three SCs (6). It also presents as a viable alternative to the gold standard caloric testing, with Bassaletti et al (8) showing that caloric testing could be avoided in 46% of cases when using their newly defined vHIT parameter evaluating vHIT gain and saccade presence.…”
