Hypothesis: PLS will improve speech understanding in noise in comparison to HiRes, an exisiting state-of-the-art speech coding strategy. The objective is to test this hypothesis. A secondary hypothesis is that PLS improves pitch perception. A…
(this text is taken from the protocol, see protocol for the detailed version)The main objective of the study is to gain insight in the underlying mechanism of tinnitus suppression. This objective will be achieved by comparing the suppressive effect…
In this research, psychofysical tests will be used to explore in which way the signal processing in CI and hearing aid can be optimized to fully exploit both input modalities in speech understanding, and in sound localization..
Evaluation of the effect of treatment with the Meniett in patients with unstable Menière*s disease.
To study the effectiveness of low-frequency rTMS in patients with chronic tinnitus.
Clinical evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of the BrainPort Balance Device in the rehabilitation of patients with unilateral vestibular disorders with different etiology. The effectiveness of the device will be compared to natural…
The main objective is to demonstrate the activation of the efferent inhibitory cortico-olivocochlear pathway with otoacoustic emission of the ear contralateral to the side of stimulation with TMS. We expect the amplitude to decrease after TMS of the…
In this study we want to investigate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of internet-based VR, with and without physiotherapeutic support, for older dizzy patients in general practice in comparison with usual care. Furthermore, we want to identify…
To determine the prevalence of BPPV in the elderly patients with an increased risk of fallsSecondary ObjectivesTo compare the outcomes within BPPV patients before and after successful treatment with a canalith repositioning manoeuvre (CRM):* The…
The primary objective of the VertiGO! trial is to assess the feasibility of restoring vestibular function by making use of prolonged VI stimulation. This will be done using a combined VI and CI device: The CVI. To achieve this objective, patients…
This study assesses whether EDB surgery will result in a significant reduction in the number of patients without vertigo spells at 12 months follow up, compared to patients who undergo endolymphatic sac decompression.
The primary objective is to study the impact of continuous vibrotactile feedback during waking hours in daily life on balance, (fear of) falling, fatigue, and overall functioning. The secondary objective is to study the impact of a vibrotactile…
The aim of this study is to investigate whether the type of surgical approach to the cochlea; CO or eRW using the Nucleus 632 with the Slim Modiolar electrode affects the final residual hearing and secondarily, intracochlear trauma and electrode…
