Florida, USA (November 14th, 2025) – After the October spotlight on pediatric video Head Impulse Testing (vHIT), this month Inventis shares the perspectives of leading clinicians who have adopted the Synapsys vHIT remote-camera system in their daily practice.
“In my pediatric practice (600 children per year), the Synapsys VHIT is an essential tool, absolutely not comparable to the others. Thanks to its remote camera, no devices are needed on the head of the child, giving you complete freedom while performing the exam. This is really important, because you can perform just 2-3 maneuvers and move on to the next plain preventing the child to get annoyed. At the end you can go back and complete the 5 required maneuvers per canal to get a complete result.”
— Dr. Sylvette Wiener-Vacher, ENT specialist, Robert Debré University Hospital, Paris (FR)
“We have been performing pediatric vestibular testing at Boys Town National Research Hospital for more than 30 years and the addition of remote camera vHIT has proven to be an invaluable tool in our clinical practice. It is quick, well-tolerated, and provides ear-specific results without the need for goggles or electrodes, which is especially important in infants, toddlers, and individuals with Down syndrome. In many cases, it is the only assessment children could complete successfully, and it provides complementary information to other tests of vestibular function. Remote camera vHIT has become essential in our clinical and research protocols for accurately identifying vestibular dysfunction in difficult-to-test populations.”
— Dr. Kristen Janky & Dr. Jessie Patterson, Vestibular and Balance Research Laboratory, Boys Town National Research Hospital, Omaha (USA).
These experiences underline how the Synapsys vHIT eliminates the limitations of traditional goggle systems, offering contact-free, reliable, and child-friendly testing for all ages.
