Regain balance with the vestibular implant

Currently, there are no treatment options to restore the function of a balance organ that does not work properly. An artificial balance organ, also called a vestibular implant, may offer the solution in the coming years!

The Geneva-Maastricht research group is investigating the feasibility of an “artificial” balance organ in collaboration with MED-EL (a manufacturer of medical devices). This website provides information on the research initiative investigating – the vestibular implant – , on the loss of balance function (vestibular loss), and on other research studies being performed in the field.
