Patient-Reported Outcomes After Vestibular Implantation for Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Standard-of-care treatment proves inadequate for many patients with bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH). Vestibular implantation is an emerging alternative.

Objective

To examine patient-reported outcomes from prosthetic vestibular stimulation.

Design, setting, and participants

The Multichannel Vestibular Implant (MVI) Early Feasibility Study is an ongoing prospective, nonrandomized, single-group, single-center cohort study conducted at Johns Hopkins Hospital that has been active since 2016 in which participants serve as their own controls. The study includes adults with severe or profound adult-onset BVH for at least 1 year and inadequate compensation despite standard-of-care treatment. As of March 2023, 12 candidates completed the eligibility screening
