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 (…
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…
Hypothesis: PLS will improve speech understanding in noise in comparison to HiRes, an exisiting state-of-the-art speech coding strategy. The objective is to test this hypothesis. A secondary hypothesis is that PLS improves pitch perception. A…
In this research, psychofysical tests will be used to explore in which way the signal processing in CI and hearing aid can be optimized to fully exploit both input modalities in speech understanding, and in sound localization..
To evaluate the efficacy of various masking strategies in cochlear implants as a treatment for tinnitus in patients with profound hearing loss.
Evaluation of the effect of treatment with the Meniett in patients with unstable Menière*s disease.
The primary objective of the VertiGO! trial is to assess the feasibility of restoring vestibular function by making use of prolonged VI stimulation. This will be done using a combined VI and CI device: The CVI. To achieve this objective, patients…
1. Monitoring of auditory function during destructive labyrinth surgery to study hearing preservation and vestibular implantation2. Monitoring of vestibular function during destructive labyrinth surgery to study better electrode position and…
The primary objective is to study the impact of continuous vibrotactile feedback during waking hours in daily life on balance, (fear of) falling, fatigue, and overall functioning. The secondary objective is to study the impact of a vibrotactile…
To evaluate the efficacy of an ABI for the suppression of unilateral, intractable tinnitus and to establish the safety of the ABI for this new indication.
