Primary Objective: To assess the level of agreement between ACC variables (amplitude, latency) in CI users and the FDT perceived by the same CI users.Secondary Objectives: • To assess correlations between speech perception and ACC variables, and…
The effect of pulse rate on temporal resolution and speech intelligibility in cochlear implant users
To determine the (in)direct effect of CI pulse rate on speech intelligibility by means of (1) a standard test for temporal resolution: amplitude modulation detection (AMD) at two different modulation frequencies, (2) speech intelligibility tests (…
To validate the Extended Speech Transmission Index (ESTI) model for fluctuating noise in reverberant conditions in both normal hearing and hearing impaired subjects
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the clinical outcome of a cochlear implant (CI) over standard health care therapy with either BAHA or CROSS in patients with SSD and to examine the cost efficiency of cochlear implantation in these…
To further optimize 7.0 Tesla MRI techniques and to develop new MRI techniques that will enable state-of-the-art clinical and cognitive research leading to improved patient care. Whereas some applications of 7.0 Tesla MRI already show improvements…
1. To determine the benefit of a CI in the functionally deaf ear of patients with asymmetrical hearing loss with moderate to severe hearing loss in their best ear in terms of speech performance (in quiet and noise) and localization 2. To determine…
Aim1. To investigate the long-term effects of early detection and intervention of hearing loss on the development of children with congenital bilateral hearing impairment. 2. To define factors in early childhood that are able to predict…
There are four main objectives in this research project, belonging to two different parts of the study. Part 1 comprises objectives 1 and 2:1. Determine the electrode discrimination abilities of prelingually deafened adult CI users in order to…
This research project has 2 main goals and can therefore be divided into 2 parts: - The aim of part (A) is to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the daily-life experiences of CI-patients who do or do not wear a contralateral hearing aid.…
To measure detection thresholds, loudness, and melody perception in CI recipients in order to assess extent of nerve degeneration between good and poor performers with respect to speech perception.
The development of an electrophysiological measuring method to describe the temporal processing of the hearing system, using the auditory steady state response.
The main objective of this study is to determine a pointprevalence of otitis externa. Further, we want to determine the presence of risk factors and to obtain information about how otitis externa is presented by people with an intellectual…

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of hearing-aid noise reduction on the perception of normal hearing listener, in terms of intelligibility, listening effort, noise annoyance, speech naturalness and overall preference. Secondly, the…
This study is designed to clarify how hearing ability and other individual differences influence the preference for a specific noise reduction strength. We will concentrate on the trade-off between residual noise and speech distortion * which is…
The present study aims to assess sensory weights and reweighting in healthy elderly and elderly with polyneuropathy, visual impairments or balance disorders compared to young healthy adults.
Which mediators of inflammation and which factors of gastro-oesophageal reflux are present in middle ear effusion? Can the findings of this study attribute to pharmacological treatment of OME.
The primary objective is to examine the relationships between the cognitive tests results of the neuropsychological assessment and dual-task cost in elderly with cognitive impairment. The second objective is to examine differences in gait…
The purpose of this study is to determine how this screening test can be used best in practice, and whether Earcheck is a valid test, compared to the pure-tone audiogram, that is applicable in a large population of construction workers exposed to…
To determine normative data for the newly developed digit speech-in-noise test in normal hearing (NH) children.
