The basic safety of the surgical procedure and the DACS actuator as well as the basic efficacy of the DACS were already shown in the DACS Chronic Clinical Trial (see protocol). The safety of the C-DACS ID receiver/stimulator, which replaces the…
Design an audiometric method that:- meet the requirements for triage- is relatively flexible according to the criteria for maximum sound level in the test environmentThe main advantages of this method for the hearing aid practice are:- less chance…
The ENT clinic in Groningen has developed a new speech coding strategy: phase-lock speech (PLS) coding. This strategy distinguishes from existing strategies by the explicit coding of acoustic fine-structure. In normal hearing subjects, the…
to evaluate the effect of hearing aid fitting as a treatment for tinnitus in patients with mild hearing losses and to determine factors that are critical to this effect.
What is the effect of the distraction hearing screening strategy compared to the neonatal hearing screening strategy on speech and language development and other developmental parameters in children with permanent childhood hearing impairment (PCHI…
Post-market clinical follow-up of a magnetic bone conduction implant (Cochlear Baha® Attract System)
This post-market clinical follow-up investigation aims to evaluate the usability and the mid- to long-term performance of the Baha Attract System in terms of hearing outcomes and safety. The objective is to compare the hearing performance with the…
The primary objective of the study is to investigate which cognitive abilities predict amount and time-course of individual improvement in speech understanding performance within the first three months after cochlear implant activation. The primary…
1. to develop and improve new and existing MR sequences for inner ear imaging at 7T2. to investigate the clinical added value of 7T imaging (in comparison to 3T imaging)
Primary Objective: Determine the value of trans-impedance measurement (TIM) for detection of new bone formation (NBF).Secondary Objective(s): Determine the influence of NBF on electrophysiological parameters, residual hearing and speech perception…
Providing a better understanding of auditory percepts produced by an Auditory Brainstem.
To develop a robust MR imaging protocol applicable in the diagnostic workup and follow up of suspected MD patients.
There are 2 main limbs to this study:1. Create a benchmark, in which we will assess the three most commonly used Dutch speech-in-noise tests, namely the LIST, Matrix, DIN and Plomp for their associated LE in noise. This is necessary as pupillometry…
1.To assess if multiple sequentially steered pulses can reach appropriate loudness while main-taining a single percept in cochlear implant subjects2.To compare loudness growth of sequentially steered pulse trains with those of conventional monopolar…
The primary objective of this study is to validate the *Hearing and Sound* questionnaire, developed by *VeiligheidNL*, which addresses exposure to noise through headphone use and visiting events with amplified music. The main study endpoint is to…
Comparison of hearing preservation and outcome of two fundamentally different cochlear implants designs (LW or PM) and the two most used surgical approaches (RW or CO). Secondly, asses the structure preservation (i.e., scalar position) of each…
The aim of the current study is to examine whether it is possible to improve speech recognition in specific CI users by optimizing dynamic range and mean aided thresholds. Furthermore, we want to investigate to what extent patient counselling and…
To evaluate a new imaging based natural mapping strategy for CI fitting to optimize patient-related outcomes. Compared to conventional clinical fitting, it is proposed that this new method will improve speech understanding and sound perception in…
Determine speech understanding in noise with the AB*s bimodal BF directional hearing technology.
The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of an integrated program of fitting and training interventions aimed at reducing unexpected variability and addressing the specific error patterns of each recipient.
The main objectives of this study will be to demonstrate that the Sentio system improves hearing on the implanted ear and provides patients with improved speech recognition on the implanted ear. In addition, adverse events related to the Sentio…
