Abstract
When compared to normal hearing children, those with SNHL performed worse in different balance subtests and experienced greater difficulty on performing the task with their eyes closed versus eye opened. The most significant effect of vision was seen in the youngest age group among both normal hearing and SNHL children.
As regarding the fundus examination of the eyes 65% children underwent fundus examination.it was found that 7.69% showed abnormal fundus examination and the other 35% of children with SNHL their parents refuse to do fundus examination.
As regarding the results of questionnaire it was found that the majority of children with Sensorineural hearing loss complained with vestibular dysfunction and delayed motor milestones and no complain regarding the fine motor milestone.
In conclusion, Children with SNHL performed worse in different balance skill tests compared with normal hearing and the most significant effect of vision was seen in the youngest age group among both normal hearing and SNHL children; this indicates the importance of visual cues in the maintenance of balance at this young age, which seemed to apply not only for children with hearing loss but also for normal hearing children
