How balance affects daily life in deaf infants
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at whether balance problems in deaf infants affect their ability to do everyday activities. It compares deaf infants with and without balance issues to hearing infants, which may help doctors better support families.

This study uses virtual reality tasks to understand and compare balance and movement in children with long-term inner-ear (vestibular) problems versus those without. It may help doctors learn what supports best balance and safety during daily activities.
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.
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 study looks at whether a special balance training program can help infants and young children who have problems with their vestibular system (the inner ear part that helps with balance) improve their balance and movement. It may also help children who have hearing loss or a cochlear implant.
This study tests a balance training program for children aged 6-16 with severe to profound hearing loss. It may help improve their balance and daily activities.
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.
