The primary goal of our study is to map and characterize anatomically and functionally the subcortical structures of the auditory pathway in patients with tinnitus and compare them to controls. To this end, we will use 7 T MRI scanner and measure…
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.
Primary Objective: in what way, if any, do children with cochlear implants process prosody differently from each other and from normally hearing children?Secondary Objective(s): 1) is there a processing difference between linguistic and emotional…
The objective of this study is to examine the vestibular system in three dimensions. To achieve this goal three experiments are performed. The EyeSeeCam video-oculography is validated with the scleral search coils (international golden standard).…
(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…
To objectify the effect of the VLS-system during daily use regarding postural stability and quality of life.
To gain information about the characteristics of the oVEMP response in patients with BRIC type 1
The objective of the study is to determine if a 3D motion platform (to measure vestibular function) and accelerometry and a insole pressure system (to measure balance) can be used in future research on patients with vestibular lesions. For this, we…
The objective of he study is to develop and evaluate a dynamic visual acuity test, with an added value over the conventional static visual acuity test. We hope that this test can eventually be used as a (military) selection tool and as a test that…
The primary objective of this study is to objectivate neural hyperactivity at the cortical level of chronic tinnitus sufferers compared to control subjects with the use of FDG-PET-scans.
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--…
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…
Primary Objectives: • To evaluate the subjective and objective cognitive complaints and cognitive function in patients receiving radiotherapy for their vestibular schwannoma. Secondary objectives:• To explore the use of (MRI) imaging biomarkers for…
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.
We aim that by assessing listening effort subjectively with an adaptive categorical listening effort scale (ACALES) we can demonstrate the possibly increased listening effort in tinnitus patients.
To validate the method of measuring torsional eye movementsTo measure 3D eye movementsTo assess the age dependency of the responsesTo measure the gain of eye- versus headmovement and retinal slip velocity in clinical diagnosis by comparing patients…
The aim of this observational and exploratory study is to describe the accuracy of gaze stabilization in the presence of abnormal vestibular and visual functions. Visually induced image movements are used as the basis for gaze stability for each…
