The role of vestibular assessment in pediatric cochlear implantation: clinical impact and emerging surgical techniques
09-09, 14:30–15:30 (Europe/Istanbul), Hearing Implant 1

<p>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.</p>

<p>I am a pediatric otolaryngologist with specialized expertise in pediatric audiology and vestibular assessment, and extensive clinical experience in the evaluation and management of pediatric vestibular disorders. I have a strong clinical and scientific interest in vestibular function and balance development in children. I am currently completing a PhD focused on multisensory integration in patients with vestibular dysfunction, using virtual reality as an experimental and clinical investigation tool. My work aims to bridge clinical practice and research in order to improve the understanding, assessment, and rehabilitation of vestibular disorders in the pediatric population.</p>
