Abstract: Newborns and infants with hearing loss often suffer from vestibular dysfunction, which may aggravate with the gradual deterioration of hearing, resulting in delayed motor development or motor dysplasia. The motor development of newborns and infants depends on the function of the vestibular organs; thus, early vestibular function evaluation has positive prognostic significance. However, newborns and infants lack the language skills to fully express their symptoms. Furthermore, a series of complex vestibular function tests may cause them discomfort, such as vertigo and nausea, and the equipment and environment often scare them, which make vestibular assessment very challenging. Additionally, the structure and function of the vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems gradually mature with growth and development. Therefore, the clinical data of vestibular quantitative tests in different age groups cannot be compared with the standard reference range in adults. Hence, not all types of vestibular tests are necessary or appropriate in newborns and infants and should be adjusted according to the stage of development. In this study, we performed a literature review with focus on the common vestibular function tests according to the age and developmental stage of newborns and infants.
