Saccades matter: Reduced need for caloric testing of cochlear implant candidates by joint analysis of v-HIT gain and corrective saccades

Video head impulse test (v-HIT) is a quick and non-invasive to evaluate vestibular function compared the caloric test. The latter is, however, needed decide on optimal side for cochlear implantation avoid inducing bilateral are flexia. This study evaluates effectiveness of using v-HIT select implant (CI) candidates who require subsequent testing before implantation.
