What the study is about

Vestibular loss can co-occur with hearing loss causing dual sensory deficits. This project examines vestibular loss as a contributing factor to reading difficulties for children with hearing loss, where previously only the effects of hearing loss and subsequent language difficulties have been considered. These results are expected to influence the identification and habilitation of vestibular loss in children with hearing loss.

Being studied: Dynamic Visual Acuity; Reading Outcomes; Static Visual Acuity

Conditions: Vestibular Disorder; Hearing Loss, Sensorineural

Inclusion Criteria

  • Children will be required to have nonverbal problem-solving/intelligence scores within 1.5 SD of the mean (mean = 100, SD = 15, 1.5 SD of mean = 77 - 123).
  • Children with normal hearing must have thresholds ≤20 dB HL from 0.25 to 8 kHz.
  • Children with hearing loss must have pure-tone averages > 65 dB HL.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Fail a vision screen at 20/30
  • Have autism, blindness, or other optic disorders, cerebral palsy, significant neurologic involvement, uncorrectable vision problems, and intellectual disability.
  • Children with nonverbal problem-solving/intelligence scores > 123 or \< 77 will be excluded.
  • Each participant's current medications will be reviewed. Children taking medications known to result in oculomotor slowing will be excluded (i.e., anti-depressants, vestibular suppressants, sedatives, etc).
