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…
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)…
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.
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 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.
The main objective is to identify the source of the *musician effect*, particularly for speech perception. The underlying processes involved and individual differences in different groups of participants in speech and music perception, both in quiet…
The aim of the study is to strengthen the basis for a new application of pupillometry (i.e., the measurement of pupil dilation) within the field of Audiology. An innovative method to quantify listening effort (pupillometry) will be further developed…
Objective: The objective of this study is to identify the effect of musical training on the perception of speech in quiet and in noise, pitch, timbre, and melody recognition and the enjoyment of music in normal hearing listeners using non-processed…
The primary objective of the study is to investigate the difference in numbness around the implant between after a surgical procedure with soft tissue preservation (test) and a surgery with soft tissue reduction (control) for implanting using Oticon…
The main goal of the study is to characterize 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…
This research will explore how fast phonemic restoration of degraded speech can be learned. This will be done by training and testing normal-hearing listeners in several sessions with interrupted speech. We will also train a group of normal-hearing…
The current study employs functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the relation between peripheral hearing loss, tinnitus and cortical reorganization. In particular, it aims to map the topographic representation of sound frequency…
Primary Objective: in what way, if any, do children with cochlear implants process prosody differently from each other and from normally hearing children?Secondary Objective(s): 1) is there a processing difference between linguistic and emotional…
Primary Objective: The present study is designed to answer the question whether the surgically altered OEAC leads to a perceived change in sound quality.Secondary Objective(s): To determine the differences in RECD and REUR induced by different OEAC…
The main objective of this study is to determine a pointprevalence of otitis externa. Further, we want to determine the presence of risk factors and to obtain information about how otitis externa is presented by people with an intellectual…
First, to measure the influence of the speech coding strategy on frequency discrimination in a free field test. Second, to quantify the influence of the number of harmonics on frequency discrimination in cochlear implant users and in normally…
The aim of the study is to establish the effectiveness of the developed LINE-1 noise suppression scheme for settings that are realistic under the technical possibilities of hearing aids and cochlear implants (CIs). The present study is a…
The goal of the planned studies is to determine the significance of afferent and efferent motor processes in facial expressions that may impact evaluative judgments or responses induced by linguistic and pictorial representations of facial…
Our first objective is two-fold; part of it is to evaluate the suitability of the dual task paradigm as a measure for listening effort in a series of simulation experiments. We will compare a linguistic and a non linguistic secondary task in this…
The overall aim of the study is to investigate the Ponto wide implant considering; initial implant stability, stability over time, skin reaction and long term success when loaded at 3 weeks post surgery. Patients* quality of life improvements…
