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…
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…
Primary objective of the study:To find out which areas in the brain play a part in the maintenance of tinnitus, and what the roles of those areas are. This will be done using the AEP response in EEG recordings.Secundary objectives of the study:1. To…
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…
(this text is taken from the protocol, see protocol for the detailed version)The main objective of the study is to gain insight in the underlying mechanism of tinnitus suppression. This objective will be achieved by comparing the suppressive effect…
The primary objective of the study is to identify the bacterial flora on the abutment in a phylum/species classification. The secondary objectives are to assess the relationships between the commensal skin flora and the flora on the abutment and to…
To examine whether hearing impaired young adults are sensitised to social stress, whether this related to dopaminergic activity and whether theory of mind could mediate the relationship.
Primary: To find out which areas in the brain play a part in the maintenance of tinnitus, and what the roles of those areas are. This will be done using BOLD response fMRI imaging.Secondary: 1. To find out which areas in the brain play a part in the…
The present study intends to perform functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in order to obtain further insight in effects of selective attention on sensory processing. This study aims to compare subjects with normal hearing to patients that…
The study objectives are to measure the impact of swimming in chlorinated water on the upper and lower airways of children with and without *doctors diagnosed asthma* by means of the following methods: 1.Tympanometry after otoscopy 2.Airway…
Most patients with tinnitus also have a hearing loss. The primary goal of this study is to investigate whether in patients with hearing loss AND tinnitus, the neural response of the brain is enlarged compared to hearing-impaired patients without…
The current study employs functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the auditory and limbic areas in tinnitus patients by means of innovative analysis methods that permit the assessment of functional interactions between brain…
With this study we will investigate if our test battery is able to distinguish between children with and without suspection of auditory processing disorders.We also want to investigate the normale development of the auditory system of children…
PROPOSAL PART I - TYMPANOSTOMY TUBE INSERTION Objective: Regarding children suffering from Acute or Chronic Otitis Media:Are there biological markers present in blood (and middle ear fluid), which will inform us about:1. The risk of recurrent…
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…
The proposed study is designed to investigate the neural substrates of tinnitus using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). The study is part of the diagnostic and research program *Diagnosis and treatment of tinnitus with emphasis on…
1) Can changes in functional brain networks in patients with and without hallucinations from several psychiatric, neurological, and perceptual disorders be detected? And if so, what is the pattern of change in these diseases?2) Are specific changes…
Primary Objective: To evaluate cytokine levels in blood samples of human subjects with tinnitus and normal hearing, compared to healthy controls.Secondary Objective(s): To evaluate complete blood count measures (neutrophil count, platelet count etc…
The main objective of this study is to compare the brainstem sound-evoked response of the subject groups with different hearing loss laterality and with/without tinnitus. These comparisons may let us know if the function of the human brainstem is…
