What this trial studies

This study evaluates the long-term effects of a vestibular implant designed to restore balance and reduce symptoms of chronic imbalance in individuals with bilateral vestibular hypofunction. It involves a single-arm open-label approach, focusing on adults who have previously received a vestibular implant and have been monitored for at least six months. The study aims to assess safety and effectiveness through various measures, including postural stability and patient-reported quality of life. A total of 15 participants will be included, with a focus on both ototoxic and non-ototoxic cases.
