title: [The study of the vestibular function in cochlear implant patients].
abstract: Fifty-two patients receiving a cochlear implant were evaluated using vestibular function tests. Forty patients received an intracochlear implant. The risk of losing preoperative vestibular function is estimated to be around 50%. The authors suggest to implant with cochlear prosthesis the ear with preoperative decreased or total loss of vestibular function.
