Vestibular Implant
for Bilateral Vestibulopathy
Although cochlear implants can restore hearing to individuals who have lost cochlear hair cell function, there is no widely available, adequately effective treatment for individuals suffering chronic imbalance, postural instability and unsteady vision due to bilateral vestibular hypofunction. Prior research focused on ototoxic cases has demonstrated that electrical stimulation of the vestibular nerve via a chronically implanted multichannel vestibular implant can partially restore vestibular reflexes that normally maintain steady posture and vision; improve performance on objective measures of postural stability and gait; and improve patient-reported disability and health-related quality of life. This single-arm open-label study extends that research to evaluate outcomes for up to 8 individuals with non-ototoxic bilateral vestibular hypofunction, yielding a total of fifteen adults (age 22-90 years at time of enrollment) divided as equally as possible between ototoxic and non-ototoxic cases.

Vestibular Implant
for Age-Related Hearing Loss
This trial tests a surgically implanted device that sends electrical signals to the balance nerve in older adults with severe balance issues. The device aims to restore natural balance reflexes by mimicking the functions of the damaged inner ear. The vestibular implant is a hybrid system based on a modified cochlear implant designed to restore balance by delivering motion information to the central nervous system using electrical stimulation.
