HOW FEASIBLE IS EARLY CHILDHOOD SCREENING?
I believe that the article clearly outlines a number of bedside and laboratory tests for VOR and vestibular-spinal functions. I agree with Dr Angeli that a tiered approach to testing is better than subjecting children with SNHL to formalized vestibular function testing even if their motor . . . [Full Text of this Article]
