[Balance in deaf children].
The author notes the absence of vertigo in deaf children but, on the other hand, noted 7% instability in a group of 176 children. The electronystagmogram is modified rather often; 30 out of 68 cases of clear hypoexcitability or inexcitability. Dysrhythmia is frequent. Finally, the author emphasizes the relevance of associating posturography for exploring balance in deaf children.
