Peripheral Vestibular Dysfunction Is a Common Occurrence in Children With Non-syndromic and Syndromic Genetic Hearing Loss

In conclusion, PVL is a common finding in children with syndromic and non-syndromic genetic HL undergoing vestibular evaluation prior to cochlear implantation. Improved understanding of the molecular physiology of vestibular hair cell dysfunction is important for clinical care as well as research involving vestibular hair cells in model organisms and in vitro models.
