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)…
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…
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.
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 primary goal of our study is to map and characterize anatomically and functionally the subcortical structures of the auditory pathway in patients with tinnitus and compare them to controls. To this end, we will use 7 T MRI scanner and measure…
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 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 compare the effect of IT dexamethasone versus IT gentamicin on number and severity vertigo attacks.To compare the effects of IT dexamethasone with IT gentamicin on hearing function, functional level scale and aural fullness.
To measure the gap detection threshold in CI users and (NH control subjects) considering the effect with speech-like stimuli using direct stimulation or CI device.
The primary goal of the present study is to evaluate and validate a new Dutch matrix test. The goal is to develop a new speech recognition test, the Matrix test, that can be used for clinical audiology and audiological research, both in the…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two differently sized pistons used in primary stapedotomy for otosclerosis in terms of hearing improvement, complication rate and general and disease-specific quality of life.
The main goal of the study is to characterize the perception of reflexives and pronouns in normally developing normal-hearing, hearing-impaired and cochlear implanted children. The proposed project consists of a longitudinal study spreading over 5…
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…
The main objective of this study is to test the feasibility of using DTI in combination with tractography to visualize differences between a degenerated and normal auditory nerve.
In the current study, we will further evaluate the use of response time to digits for objective measurement of listening effort. The purpose is to determine if there is an effect of single-microphone noise reduction on the response time to spoken…
punt 1.3 pagina 17 CIPEven dough extensive bench testing data is available , usability and efficacy of use of the automated NRI paradigms (NRI-express) partly rely on clinical data to finalize the validation. This study will provide evidence of…
The proposed studies will investigate the effect of auditory attention on speech comprehension, its relation to listening effort, and the effect of hearing loss on these processes.
The purpose of this study is the validity and applicability of an objective internet screening test appropriate for the detection of occupational noise-induced hearing loss, that can be performed in a remote setting (at home or at work).
