The Relationship between Chronic Unilateral Hearing Loss, Balance Function, and Falls Is Not Informed by Vestibular Status
Individuals with UHL are more likely to have caloric weakness than healthy controls; however, these findings are not correlated with functional outcomes or history of falls. Postural control testing using virtual reality or standing on foam with eyes closed may help detect those at a risk for falls.
