Thirty-one postlingually deafened adults with 22-channel cochlear implants were evaluated preoperatively using vestibular function tests, the caloric test and stabilometry. The results of caloric response were classified into two diagnostic groups: normo- or hyporeflexia and areflexia. Stabilometric recordings were made using a computerized static posturographic platform. Between the two categories of caloric response, there was a significant difference in consonant recognition, but the recognition of vowels showed no significant difference. The results of the distance of body sway in stabilometry, but not of the area, correlated to the results of consonant recognition in speech perception tests. The degree of residual vestibular function seems to be one of the indicators influencing postoperative speech recognition by cochlear implant patients.
