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 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 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…
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.…
The aim of this study is to determine the association between pre- and post-operative residual hearing in cochlear implant patients and the intracochear electrode position.
The basic safety of the surgical procedure and the DACS actuator as well as the basic efficacy of the DACS were already shown in the DACS Chronic Clinical Trial (see protocol). The safety of the C-DACS ID receiver/stimulator, which replaces the…
1) Compare a group of bilateral users to a unilateral control group (between-subject design)2) Compare unilateral use to bilateral use after sequential implantation (within-subject design)3) Compare simultaneous bilateral implantation to sequential…
The aim of this study is to investigate which (combination of) laboratory situations require the full benefit of binaural hearing.
To assess the effect of bilateral cochlear implantation compared to the standard unilateral cochlear implantation in children with severe to profound hearing loss.
The ENT clinic in Groningen has developed a new speech coding strategy: phase-lock speech (PLS) coding. This strategy distinguishes from existing strategies by the explicit coding of acoustic fine-structure. In normal hearing subjects, the…
to evaluate the effect of hearing aid fitting as a treatment for tinnitus in patients with mild hearing losses and to determine factors that are critical to this effect.
Post-market clinical follow-up of a magnetic bone conduction implant (Cochlear Baha® Attract System)
This post-market clinical follow-up investigation aims to evaluate the usability and the mid- to long-term performance of the Baha Attract System in terms of hearing outcomes and safety. The objective is to compare the hearing performance with the…
