Vestibular function prior to cochlear implantation in patients with non-syndromic hearing loss caused by CDH23 mutations: a retrospective case series

Key Points

• To evaluate vestibular function before cochlear implantation in patients with non-syndromic hearing loss due to CDH23 mutations.
• Retrospective case series analysis of patients with CDH23-related non-syndromic deafness
• Assessment of vestibular function prior to cochlear implantation
• More than half of the patients exhibited unilateral vestibular dysfunction prior to surgery
• Findings indicate the potential importance of preoperative vestibular assessments
