Evaluate the performance of directional microphone systems in binaural (bimodal or bilateral) cochlear implant users
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…
To validate the Extended Speech Transmission Index (ESTI) model for fluctuating noise in reverberant conditions in both normal hearing and hearing impaired subjects
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 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.
The objective of the study is to answer the following questions:a) Does the PLS-strategy improve pitch- and speech-perception?b) How does the number of harmonics in consecutive channels influence frequency discrimination, in speech coding strategies…
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.
The primary objective is to measure and characterize the tonotopy and modulotopy of the primary auditory cortex in normal hearing subjects. Measurements will be performed both during a normal resting state, as well as during the performance of an…
In the current study, we will further evaluate the use of response time to digits for objective measurement of listening effort. The purpose is to determine if there is an effect of single-microphone noise reduction on the response time to spoken…
punt 1.3 pagina 17 CIPEven dough extensive bench testing data is available , usability and efficacy of use of the automated NRI paradigms (NRI-express) partly rely on clinical data to finalize the validation. This study will provide evidence of…
The aim of this study is to determine the association between pre- and post-operative residual hearing in cochlear implant patients and the intracochear electrode position.
