This study is looking at how vestibular loss (problems with the inner ear system that helps with balance and eye movements) might affect reading abilities in children who also have hearing loss. Researchers want to understand if vestibular loss contributes to reading difficulties, which hasn't been fully explored before. They will be using behavioral tests like "Dynamic Visual Acuity" and "Static Visual Acuity" to measure how well children can see clearly during head movements and when still. "Reading Outcomes" tests will measure reading fluency. The study aims to enroll 90 children between 7 and 18 years old. Children can have normal hearing or hearing loss, but must meet specific intelligence scores. The study is ongoing and will measure these outcomes until November 2026.

Study design

This is an interventional study planning to enroll 90 participants. It will use behavioral interventions to assess visual acuity and reading outcomes.

What's involved

Participants will undergo behavioral tests including Dynamic Visual Acuity, Static Visual Acuity, and Reading Outcomes assessments. These tests involve identifying shapes or words.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants' Dynamic Visual Acuity, Reading Ability, and Static Visual Acuity will be measured until November 30, 2026.
