Usher Syndrome Ireland @usherireland.org · 11/09/2025

What happens to balance in Usher syndrome? Let’s find out what keeps us steady! Follow along & share to help spread awareness of this rare condition impacting only approx 250 people in Ireland. 💚 #UsherSyndrome #Balance #Vestilbular #RareDisease #USHDay2025 #SpeirGorm

A cut-out of a young toddler walking. Text reads “What happens to balance in Usher syndrome? “.

A image of a toddler walking, appearing unsteady and holding on to an adult behind them, towards a sofa with an adult behind them. Text reads “The vestibular system helps us maintain balance. It includes the semicircular canals in the inner ear, which detect movement. Tiny hair cells and fluid in the canals send signals to the brain, helping us stay steady.”

Text reads “In USH1, the tiny hair cells in the vestibular system are often compromised at birth. This can cause delays in sitting, crawling, or walking in children. The vestibular system also works with the eyes to maintain balance. As vision loss progresses, balance difficulties may become more noticeable.”. Underneath is a cut-out of a woman with one hand outstretched and the other on her head as she appears unsteady.

Text in circle reads “Not everyone with Usher syndrome has balance problems. Many people adapt naturally over time. Babies and young children with USH1 may benefit from physiotherapy or vestibular rehabilitation.”. Behind the circle are several icons representing balance.
