This webinar will examine the critical role of vestibular assessment in the management of infants and children with identified hearing impairment. Historically, clinical intervention has focused primarily on auditory rehabilitation; however, emerging international evidence highlights the importance of considering co-occurring vestibular dysfunction as part of the holistic care of the hearing-impaired child.The webinar will review the current evidence base, explore best practices, and provide practical guidance to support safe and effective management decisions for children presenting with both hearing and peripheral vestibular dysfunction.
Identify the key challenges clinicians face when selecting appropriate strategies to assess vestibular function in infants and children at risk of vestibular dysfunction.
Explain the evidence supporting the clinical utility of vestibular assessment in promoting appropriate balance development in paediatric populations.
Discuss how to integrate vestibular findings into individualized management plans for children with hearing loss.
