The present study was conducted to evaluate the vestibular system in cochlear implant candidates. A total of 20 adult post lingually deaf cochlear implant candidates were examined. The vestibular function was assessed using electronystagmography. The results revealed that vestibular affection was found in 65% of patients preoperatively. The incidence of vestibular dysfunction was 16.6% postoperatively. The study concluded that the incidence of vestibular dysfunction following cochlear implant is remarkably lower than that reported
