To assess self-perceived balance function in adults after cochlear implantation and explore factors associated with postoperative vertigo.
✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦
Audiologists and surgeons should be aware that self-perceived balance problems are a meaningful post-cochlear implant concern; screening for postoperative dizziness using patient-reported measures is warranted, though specific management protocols await further evidence.
✦ Why It Matters ✦
Understanding patient-reported balance outcomes after cochlear implantation highlights an under-addressed quality-of-life dimension that should be routinely assessed in post-surgical follow-up.
