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 (…
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 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.
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,…
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…
The objectives are to evaluate the degree of bilateral benefit gained from having a second implant with respect to speech perception, spatial hearing, and listening effort.
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 determine an increased risk of falling during a delirium
To evaluate the effectiveness of bilateral implantation over unilateral implantation in children with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Furthermore with this study we will investigate whether simultaneous bilateral implantation is…

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…
The objective of the Simbici project is to evaluate the effect of bilateral cochlear implantation compared to unilateral cochlear implantation in children, in the domains of primary auditive capacities, language development and social-emotional…
To examine the effects of treatment with galantamine among patients with AD on the variability and stability of walking (with and without dual-task), functional mobility, standing balance, and cognitive functions (e.g. attention and executive…
To investigate which surgical technique (with or without vein graft interposition) is most (cost-)effective in patients with otosclerosis in terms of the average postoperative air-bone gap (ABG) closure, individual air and bone conduction thresholds…
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 1 year follow-up.…
To objectify the effect of the VLS-system during daily use regarding postural stability and quality of life.
In this research, psychofysical tests will be used to explore in which way the signal processing in CI and hearing aid can be optimized to fully exploit both input modalities in speech understanding, and in sound localization..
