Balance and hearing study for children with hearing loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how hearing loss affects balance in children aged 3 to 10. It tests balance and inner ear function to help understand the connection between hearing and balance problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests balance and inner-ear function in children who have delays in gross motor skills or dizziness/balance problems. It aims to understand these issues better and may help guide future care.
This study measures normal balance and inner ear function in healthy children aged 6 months to 10 years. It helps doctors understand what is typical for kids, which can improve care for those with balance issues.
This study looks at how children with vestibular (balance) and/or hearing loss learn to read. It may help researchers understand what reading supports work best for children who have trouble with balance and sound processing.
This study looks at how the vestibular system (your balance and motion sensing) is involved in children’s thinking and movement. It compares typically developing children with children who have balance-related (vestibular) problems or certain neurodevelopmental conditions to understand what to expect and how development may differ.
This trial tests a special training program for infants with balance (vestibular) problems. It aims to help them improve their balance and motor skills, with or without hearing loss or a cochlear implant.
This study tests a training program to help teenagers with severe hearing loss improve their balance and daily activities. It may help if you have only hearing loss and no other health issues.
