Method: Quasi-experimental pre-post test study design was used, 8 young adults between 18 to 24 years of age were recruited, assigned to vestibular rehabilitation therapy group (n=4) and conventional therapy group (n=4) respectively. Participants from the vestibular rehabilitation therapy group underwent vestibular rehabilitation therapy exercise for balance focusing on gaze stability and postural stability, along with conventional therapy for balance for a duration of 4 weeks, whereas conventional therapy group received conventional occupational therapy on balance for the same period. Outcome measures to assess balance were Berg balance scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and Functional Reach Test (FRT) was used.  Results: there was a statistically significant difference between the post-test scores of BBS -static, Dynamic, total, TUG, and FRT between the control and experimental group. The results depicted that vestibular rehabilitation therapy with conventional occupational therapy had an more effect on balance for persons with hearing impairment than conventional occupational therapy for balance. Conclusion: The study concludes that vestibular rehabilitation therapy with conventional occupational therapy had shown to be effective on balance for young adults with hearing impairment. This study recommends continuous follow-up of participants to identify the effects of vestibular rehabilitation therapy on balance in other functional activities of individuals. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol18no1/vestibular-rehabilitation-therapy-with-and-without-conventional-regimen-on-balance-for-adult-with-hearing-impairment-pilot-study/ Balance Hearing impairment Vestibular rehabilitation therapy Young adult
