Balance problems in industrial workers with hearing loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how hearing problems may affect balance in people who work in industrial settings. It could help understand if hearing loss makes workers more likely to experience falls or dizziness on the job.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how long-term exposure to noise and chemicals at fuel stations might affect your hearing and balance. If you qualify, it could help understand risks and improve safety for workers like you.
This study tests a new device that may help restore balance for people with long-term dizziness from inner ear problems. The implant is placed surgically to stimulate the balance nerve.
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 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 (expected) results from hearing and balance tests in healthy people. It may help researchers and clinics better understand what “normal” looks like so future patients’ test results can be interpreted more accurately.
This study follows adults with hearing instability to better understand what causes it, measure it in new ways, and look for potential treatment targets. If you qualify, you may get hearing and balance-related testing (including scans) over a period of time.
