The cochlear implant is an electrical hearing aid that restores the perception of
surrounding sounds and speech intelligibility in profoundly deaf patients. During
surgery, the labyrinthine break necessary for insertion into the cochlea of the
implantable part may cause a malfunction of the vestibular system which can induce
dizziness, balance and perception (of the gravitational vertical) disorders. Vestibular
compensation and new sonic interactions could alter the balance control and the visual
and postural spatial orientation perceptions.
The usual treatment includes the monitoring of the patient's quality of life, of the
vestibular function and of hearing. This study adds an assessment of spatial orientation
and of posture.
