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.
Our expectation that the EDLI group may positively benefit from CI comes from a small number of studies, due possibly to the very small size of this implantee population worldwide. Despite a delay between the onset of deafness and the implantation,…
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.
To compare the effect of IT dexamethasone versus IT gentamicin on number and severity vertigo attacks.To compare the effects of IT dexamethasone with IT gentamicin on hearing function, functional level scale and aural fullness.
To determine an increased risk of falling during a delirium
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…
The objective of the Simbici project is to evaluate the effect of bilateral cochlear implantation compared to unilateral cochlear implantation in children, in the domains of primary auditive capacities, language development and social-emotional…
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…
To objectify the effect of the VLS-system during daily use regarding postural stability and quality of life.
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.
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 assess the effect of bilateral cochlear implantation compared to the standard unilateral cochlear implantation in children with severe to profound hearing loss.
1. To implant a functional vestibular prosthesis using the ampullar *V*-approach, as developed in our own clinic.2. To investigate protocols for adjusting the vestibular implant (VI) to required settings, regarding:-- Modulation sensitivity--…
Part 1: To develop a child friendly method to balance bilateral input with regard to loudness and to assess the effect of this so-called bilateral loudness balancing on speech perception in noise and localization. This child friendly method with…
Single-stage bone-anchored hearing implant surgery in the pediatric population using the BHX implant
To compare implant loss between single-stage BAHI surgery (test group) and two-stage BAHI surgery (control group) in children. Furthermore, to compare soft tissue status, time to loading and duration of surgery between groups.
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…
