  • Were born with congenital CMV (CMV at birth)

What will participants do?

  • If vestibular dysfunction is identified, participate in an 8-week at-home rehabilitation program
  • Return for repeat vestibular testing to see if balance function improved

Study details:

  • No invasive testing
  • Compensation provided for time and participation
