About this trial

The goal of this age-based cohort study is to provide normative data of vestibular function in the general Danish pediatric population. Thus, the investigators will be able to compare patient data with norms, allowing for more precise diagnostics. The participants will be children in the age of 6 months to 10 years, without any known hearing or balance problems. The test protocol consists of questionnaires, hearing screening and vestibular and postural assessments.
