Audrey Maudoux

I am a pediatric ENT surgeon and clinician-scientist leading the vestibular exploration unit at Robert-Debré Hospital, where our clinical and research activities focus on hearing–vestibular interactions, CMV-related inner ear involvement, functional impact assessment of vestibular disorders, early screening, and therapeutic approaches tailored to children.

I also conduct fundamental research on deafness, vestibular dysfunction and gene therapy in preclinical models, in collaboration with Aziz El-Amraoui’s team at the Hearing Institute (Institut Pasteur).

My previous academic background includes recognized expertise in auditory neuroscience, tinnitus, fMRI and neuromodulation, developed during my PhD and post-doctoral training in auditory neuroimaging and tinnitus (University of Liège, Georgetown University).

The role of vestibular assessment in pediatric cochlear implantation: clinical impact and emerging surgical techniques
Wiener Vacher sylvette R., Salma Jbyeh, Audrey Maudoux

Vestibular function may be impacted by cochlear implantation in children with sever to profound hearing loss. This instructional course will highlight the importance of preoperative vestibular assessment in pediatric cohlear implant candidates, explore its implications for psychomotor developement, and review recent advances in cochlear implantation techniques, including robotic-assisted surgery, with a focus on vestibular preservation.
