Recent epidemiological findings of associations between hearing loss (HL) and poorer
mobility and higher falls risk have increased the demand for ecologically valid experimental …

Importance An increase in the number of mechanistic studies targeting the association
between sound and balance has been observed in recent years, but their results appear …

While a few studies have investigated the relationship between hearing acuity and postural
control, little is known about the effect of hearing aids on postural stability in elderly with …

Background: Auditory input is increasingly recognized as an additional input for balance.
Several studies have found auditory cues to improve static balance measured on a sway …

Objective To evaluate the association between hearing and postural balance. Study Design
Retrospective cross-sectional study. Setting Tertiary care otolaryngology clinic. Subjects and …

This pilot study aimed to identify postural strategies in response to sensory perturbations
(visual, auditory, somatosensory) in adults with and without sensory loss. We tested people …

Objectives: To evaluate the influence of auditory cues on postural sway in normal-hearing
(NH) individuals, hearing-impaired individuals with vestibular impairment (HIVL), or hearing …

BACKGROUND: The traditional Sensory Organization Test (T-SOT) is a gold standard
balance test; however, the psychometric properties of assessing sensory organization with a …

Background Balance control is based on multisensory interaction. In addition to vestibular,
proprioceptive and visual information, it seems that auditory input also plays an important …

Our purpose in the present study was to examine whether moving tactile stimuli to the sole to
mimic moving weight distribution over the feet during gait would influence body sway in …
