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…
Primary Objective: Investigate whether early valganciclovir treatment of children with SNHL of >= 20 dB, unilateral or bilateral, and a confirmed congenital CMV infection can prevent deterioration of the hearing loss at 1 year follow-up.…
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…
Primary objective The primary objective of the study is the evaluation of the therapeutic benefit of three repeated dose intratympanic AM 101 injections in comparison to placebo in the treatment of persistent acute inner ear tinnitus following acute…
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…
To determine if maintenance therapy with AZN will provide significant improvements in PCD lung disease, compared to placebo: reduction in respiratory system exacerbations and improvement in lung function, ventilation inhomogeneity, improvement in…
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…
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.
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…
To assess the feasibility of an RCT assessing the effects of hearing aids on cognitive decline.
The main objective of the study is to assess the effect of a cochlear implant on tinnitus burden in patients suffering from tinnitus accompanied by hearing loss.
The objective of the study is to explore potential beneficial effects of improvisation-based musical training: 1) on speech-on-speech perception and music appreciation in CI users, 2) on HR-QoL-related aspects as well as to explore other nuances in…
