Milestones in the development of a vestibular implant. [PDF]
Purpose of reviewBilateral vestibular deficits exist and their prevalence is more important than believed by the medical community. Their severe impact has inspired several teams to develop technical solutions in an attempt to rehabilitate patients. A particularly promising pathway is the vestibular implant.

Restoring Visual Acuity in Dynamic Conditions With a Vestibular Implant [PDF]
Vestibular implants are devices designed to rehabilitate patients with a bilateral vestibular loss (BVL). These patients lack a properly functioning vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), which impairs gaze stabilization abilities and results in an abnormal loss

Vestibular Co-stimulation in Adults with a Cochlear Implant
BACKGROUND: Vestibular co-stimulation is a side effect of cochlear implant stimulation. The electrical currents delivered by the cochlear implant can spread toward the vestibular system and thus stimulate it. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether it is feasible to functionally restore the balance by modifying the vestibular co-stimulation ...

Vestibular dysfunction and postural balance in cochlear implant users: a narrative literature review
Cochlear implants directly stimulate nerve fibers and ganglion cells of the auditory nerve, which transform sound energy into low levels of electrical current, stimulating the remaining fibers of the auditory nerve in patients with severe to profound ...

How can the cochlear implant interfere with the vestibular function?
Introduction: The cochlear implant is a therapeutic option for patients with deep neurosensorial deafness. Some implanted patients evolved with dizziness in the postoperative, which started the interest for the vestibular function.

Vestibular function in cochlear implant users
Balance alterations in the postoperative of cochlear implant surgeries varies from 31 to 75%.to analyze vestibular function in the pre and postoperative periods of cochlear implanted individuals.the vestibular function was assessed, through electronystagmography, in 38 patients, in the pre and postoperative of cochlear implant procedures.The main ...

Vestibular Implant Imaging. [PDF]
Analogous to hearing restoration via cochlear implants, vestibular function could be restored via vestibular implants that electrically stimulate vestibular nerve branches to encode head motion. This study presents the technical feasibility and first imaging results of CT for vestibular implants in 8 participants of the first-in-human Multichannel ...
