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…
Aim1. To investigate the long-term effects of early detection and intervention of hearing loss on the development of children with congenital bilateral hearing impairment. 2. To define factors in early childhood that are able to predict…
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…

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 main objective of the present study is to investigate the optimal stimulation pattern for tinnitus suppression in a structured way. Our study will focus on two parameters: stimulus level and anatomical stimulation site inside the cochlea.
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…
