Long-term analysis of vestibular function in cochlear implant recipients with enlarged vestibular aqueduct- ERRATUM

✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦

No actionable change — this is an erratum notice with no abstract; clinicians should check the corrected article directly in the Journal of Laryngology & Otology (DOI: 10.1017/S0022215126105131) once the full correction is accessible.

✦ Why It Matters ✦

Errors in studies on vestibular outcomes after cochlear implantation in enlarged vestibular aqueduct patients matter clinically because this population faces elevated risk of balance disturbance post-implantation.

✦ Key Points ✦

01Erratum issued for a Journal of Laryngology & Otology article published online June 2026.
02Original study examined long-term vestibular function in cochlear implant recipients.
03Study population had enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA), a congenital inner-ear structural variant.
04No abstract or details of the correction are currently available.
05PMID 42252844; DOI 10.1017/S0022215126105131.
