The occurrence of vertigo after cochlear implantation is difficult to predict by the healthcare team and may develop into an invalidating condition. Each vestibular examination performed routinely only evaluates a specific vestibular organ dysfunction. Therefore, combining several vestibular assessments tests before and after cochlear implantation can increase their sensitivity of predicting the occurrence and eventual persistence of this symptom.
