简要总结
Hearing loss is an established independent risk factor for dementia. Likewise, recent research demonstrated cognitive deficits in subjects with vestibular loss. However, in these studies data have not been adjusted for the hearing status of the enrolled study subjects. As hearing loss prevalence is high in patients with vestibular loss, this could be a major confounder. Therefore, in this study the investigators investigate cognition in patients with bilateral vestibulopathy with and without hearing loss. The investigators adjust data for the hearing status of the patients to explore the link between hearing loss, vestibular loss and cognition.

结局指标
主要结局
The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status for Hearing Impaired Individuals (RBANS-H): total score
时间窗: 2 years
General cognitive assessment, cfr. Claes et al 2016. The total-score is standardized with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. The higher the total score, the better the cognition of the participant.
Virtual Morris Water Maze performance
时间窗: 2 years
Spatial cognition assessment, cfr. Hamilton. Path length and latency are recorded, the higher the worse the spatial cognition of the participant.
次要结局
- The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status for Hearing Impaired Individuals (RBANS-H): index scores(2 years)
