Does cochlear implantation influence vestibular function and balance control?

The contribution presents a literary review of the facts about cochlear implantation (CI) in association to balance control from studies over the past 5 years. CI has the potential risk for vestibular system and its functions. The vestibular system plays the main role in balance tasks, f. e. postural control, balance and spatial orientation. Vestibular problems have been reported after CI, but the literature indicates major discrepancies in the reported clinical impact. The aim of the contribution is to summarize studies that ask whether CI has an undesirable, improved or any impact on vestibular function and balance control.

Keywords: cochlear implantation, vestibular function, balance, postural stability
