Abstract

During the last few decades, much research has been performed concerning vestibular implants. At the moment, they are mostly used to treat bilateral vestibulopathy, a very debilitating disorder for which no other effective treatment options exist. The concept is similar to that of a cochlear implant, which has already been used for many years to treat severe sensorineural hearing loss. The vestibular implant aims to artificially restore vestibular function through electrical stimulation of the vestibular nerve branches. This chapter provides an overview of current knowledge on vestibular implant candidacy, surgical techniques, device subtypes, stimulation profiles, clinical outcomes, and possible complications.
