Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) plays an important role in the quest to understand
sensory signal processing in the vestibular system under normal and pathological …

Usher syndrome (USH) is a major cause of deaf-blindness in humans, affecting∼ 400 000
patients worldwide. Three clinical subtypes, USH1-3, have been defined, with 10 USH …

Background Bilateral vestibular hypofunction is associated with chronic disequilibrium,
postural instability, and unsteady gait owing to failure of vestibular reflexes that stabilize the …

Objective To optimize the current diagnostic and treatment procedures for patients with
bilateral vestibulopathy (BV), this study aimed to determine the complete spectrum of …

Background: DeaFNess Autosomal dominant 9 (DFNA9) is a hereditary disorder known to
affect both hearing and vestibular function in its carriers. Its phenotype is characterized by …

BACKGROUND Bilateral loss of vestibular (inner ear inertial) sensation causes chronically
blurred vision during head movement, postural instability, and increased fall risk. Individuals …

Objectives To identify predictive factors for falls in patients with bilateral vestibulopathy (BV).
Specific variables contributing to the general work-up of a vestibular patient were compared …

Usher syndrome (USH) encompasses a group of clinically and genetically heterogenous
disorders defined by the triad of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), vestibular dysfunction …

Importance Recent literature suggests there may be a significant effect of the vestibular
system on cognition and visuospatial processing. Given the increasing prevalence of …

Objective Current diagnostic criteria for bilateral vestibulopathy (BV) primarily involve
measurements of vestibular reflexes. Perceptual self-motion thresholds however, are not …
