To investigate hearing improvement following day-case stapes surgery compared to in-patient stapes surgery and the effect of both methods on quality of life, cost-effectiveness and complication rates (mainly tinnitus and vertigo).
To investigate the cost-effectiveness of day-case cochlear implantation compared to inpatient cochlear implantation and the effect of both methods on quality of life.
Primairy objective:To compare the incidence of inflammation between the test group (MIPS technique using an Oticon Medical Ponto abutment and implant) and control group ( Hultcrantz technique using an Oticon Medical Ponto abutment and implant) after…
Primary research questions:1. Does tinnitusspecific- behavioural exposure-treatment (T-BET) decrease tinnitus-related fear, tinnitus-severity and enhance recovery, when compared to a masking-therapy with use of personalised on-ear masking-devices,…
The objectives are to evaluate the degree of bilateral benefit gained from having a second implant with respect to speech perception, spatial hearing, and listening effort.
This research will explore how fast phonemic restoration of degraded speech can be learned. This will be done by training and testing normal-hearing listeners in several sessions with interrupted speech. We will also train a group of normal-hearing…
The objective of this study is to develop and test a DSL-protocol which will focus on proper use of hearing-aids, and will also provide patients (and their significant others) with specific skills to improve the use of the senses and communication.…
To evaluate the effectiveness of bilateral implantation over unilateral implantation in children with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Furthermore with this study we will investigate whether simultaneous bilateral implantation is…
To investigate which surgical technique (with or without vein graft interposition) is most (cost-)effective in patients with otosclerosis in terms of the average postoperative air-bone gap (ABG) closure, individual air and bone conduction thresholds…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two differently sized pistons used in primary stapedotomy for otosclerosis in terms of hearing improvement, complication rate and general and disease-specific quality of life.
Primary objectives are to measure how phonemic restoration changes as a function of 1. the inherent bottom-up cues that come from the speech signal (spectral information, pitch contours, fundamental frequency, temporal envelope, etc), and 2. the…
Primary Objective: To show superiority of the novel fixtures compared to standard fixtures regarding stability of the implants measured as ISQ values.Secondary Objectives: 1. To compare the long time survival of the standard fixtures and abutments…
1) Compare a group of bilateral users to a unilateral control group (between-subject design)2) Compare unilateral use to bilateral use after sequential implantation (within-subject design)3) Compare simultaneous bilateral implantation to sequential…
The cost-effectiveness of multidisciplinary management of Tinnitus at a specialised Tinnitus Center.
The main objective of this study proposal is to examine the effectiveness, costs, and cost-effectiveness of an integral treatment provided by a specialised tinnitus center.
1 Primary objectiveTo demonstrate that the minimally invasive surgical procedure in combination with the use of the BA400 abutment is associated with a reduction of inflammation/ infection, overgrowth, pain and numbness at the site of implantation…
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of intervention with a CI in post lingual adult patients with progressive severe hearing loss and thus residual hearing, compared to standard care with hearing aids, on societal related…
To establish the clinical and cost-effectiveness of antibiotic-corticosteroid eardrops as compared with oral antibiotics in children with AOMd.
The study aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of AET in decreasing self-reported deficits in autonomy-connectedness / self-reported symptoms of anxiety and depression in HI adults.
Primary Objective: The primary objective is to determine whether MBCT is non inferior in the effectiveness on TFI reduction as CBT in adults with chronic tinnitus. Non inferioirty would be declared if the mean decrease in TFI score for MBCT is no…
In this study, we will investigate whether GAME musical training can provide additional benefits to CI users. The project is designed to provide scientific evidence for a music training program that will be aimed at to also be fun and engaging for…
