Balance's impact on daily life in deaf infants
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how balance problems (vestibular function) affect everyday activities in deaf infants. Researchers will compare three groups: deaf infants with balance issues, deaf infants without, and hearing infants without balance issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 0 and 3 years old.
- Your child has been diagnosed with deafness (hearing loss) or has normal hearing.
- If your child is deaf, we will check if they also have a balance problem (vestibular impairment).
- Your child cannot have any movement or bone disorders (like cerebral palsy) that make daily activities hard.
- Your child cannot have a developmental disorder (like autism) that affects behavior or learning.

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 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 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 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.
