title: Evaluation of vestibular function in young children.
abstract: Together, these tests provide a full evaluation of vestibular function in infants and small children. If attention is paid to creating the appropriate testing environment, and interpretation of the tests takes into account the unique properties of the responses of infants and young children, this testing can provide a useful adjunct to audiometric evaluation in young children.
