Vestibular disorders are the leading cause of dizziness in children. Vestibular disorders in youngsters with and due to Otitis Media Effusion have recently gained attention. The best way to identify vestibular disorders in youngsters is to use crude methods. The majority of the time, the parents’ history is used to form the view. As a result, questionnaires are the finest tool for estimating children. The Pediatric Vestibular Symptom Questionnaire was created and validated to measure children’s private vestibular symptom inflexibility (i.e. dizziness, shakiness), as a reliable and valid tool for assessing the presence and inflexibility of private vestibular symptoms in children with vestibular diseases or concussion provides a tool for assessing the presence and inflexibility of private vestibular symptoms in children with vestibular diseases or concussion. The questionnaire was used to distinguish between children with vestibular symptoms and healthy controls, and it should be used to detect and quantify vestibular symptoms that require further examination and treatment. The adaptation of the same in Malayalam Language among the natives of Kerala, the Southern Indian states were used widely to evaluate and identify the vestibular symptoms among the children for the effective treatment and better prognosis. Based on the statistics and analysis obtained the questionnaire demonstrated robust reliability, construct and discriminate validity.

Abstract

Cochlear Habilitator is an animated hypothetical cochlear pattern right and left with illumination from frequencies 125 Hz to 13000 Hz awareness and saving contours. This programmed has complete battery of training and testing on pure tones from 125 Hz to 10,000 Hz and environmental sounds numbering 79. The present study aimed to see the efficacy of cochlear habilitator in cochlear implant children. A total 10 cochlear implant children under which 4-female and, 6-male participants with in the age range of 3-7 years participated in this study with normal IQ and no history of any health problems. The cochlear habilitator (software) was installed in a laptop connected with two loudspeakers, which are configured with the cochlear habilitator (software) with azimuth angle of 180 degree. The 10 cochlear implant participants were selected based on the subject selection criteria, from the speech and hearing clinic and auditory training was provided for 28 days/sessions. The data was analyzed using SPSS software (version 17.0). T test values shows there is a significant difference in all tasks individually and on overall performance. The mean scores of Post therapy test is higher than the pre-therapy test. Hence cochlear habilitator computer based online software is a useful tool for cochlear implant children’s management in auditory training.
