Evaluate the performance of directional microphone systems in binaural (bimodal or bilateral) cochlear implant users
The project has three main scientific objectives: (1) To investigate how speech processing with CIs affects listeners* mental representations at lexical and sub-lexical levels, as well as the flow of information between these levels; (2) To study…
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 general goal of our study is to unravel the anatomical and functional correlates of tinnitus in the human brain using structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We will use a high-field (7 T) MRI scanner and obtain a) detailed…
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 primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that free field word recognition scores in quiet and noise with CI *ON* are significantly better than the best aided pre-implant scores in the ear to be implanted (contralateral ear plugged)…
Primary Objective: Investigate whether early valganciclovir treatment of children with SNHL of * 20 dB, unilateral or bilateral, and a confirmed congenital CMV infection can prevent deterioration of the hearing loss at follow-up (age 18 * 22 months…
The aim of this study is to validate known, and identify novel allelic variants which may play a role in the risk of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in a substantial international cohort of children diagnosed with cancer.
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 investigate hearing improvement following day-case stapes surgery compared to in-patient stapes surgery and the effect of both methods on quality of life, cost-effectiveness and complication rates (mainly tinnitus and vertigo).
To investigate the cost-effectiveness of day-case cochlear implantation compared to inpatient cochlear implantation and the effect of both methods on quality of life.
Primairy objective:To compare the incidence of inflammation between the test group (MIPS technique using an Oticon Medical Ponto abutment and implant) and control group ( Hultcrantz technique using an Oticon Medical Ponto abutment and implant) after…
Our expectation that the EDLI group may positively benefit from CI comes from a small number of studies, due possibly to the very small size of this implantee population worldwide. Despite a delay between the onset of deafness and the implantation,…
The study consists of two parts.Objective 1 to document the day by day changes of tinnitus that participants with intermittent tinnitus experience. This objective is aimed for in part 1 of the study. In addition, this part allows the selection of a…
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…
The main goal of the study is to optimize the perception of vocal characteristics through a cochlear implant. It will span a number of aspects: psychophysical characterisation, its relation to speaker discrimination, its relation to single voice…
The purpose of this study is the improvement of sound material for the Sound-Ear-Check by focusing on the acoustical analysis and the validation of the Sound-Ear-Check, among adult participants and children with normal-hearing abilities and hearing-…
The aim of the study is to test whether EMDR is effective to use as an intervention in order to reduce the severity and the burden of tinnitus and to determine whether the alleged effect of treatment is stable.
Primary research questions:1. Does tinnitusspecific- behavioural exposure-treatment (T-BET) decrease tinnitus-related fear, tinnitus-severity and enhance recovery, when compared to a masking-therapy with use of personalised on-ear masking-devices,…
