Primary Objective: To assess the level of agreement between ACC variables (amplitude, latency) in CI users and the FDT perceived by the same CI users.Secondary Objectives: • To assess correlations between speech perception and ACC variables, and…
The general goal of our study is to unravel the anatomical and functional correlates of tinnitus in the human brain using structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We will use a high-field (7 T) MRI scanner and obtain a) detailed…
To validate the Extended Speech Transmission Index (ESTI) model for fluctuating noise in reverberant conditions in both normal hearing and hearing impaired subjects
The purpose of this study is the improvement of sound material for the Sound-Ear-Check by focusing on the acoustical analysis and the validation of the Sound-Ear-Check, among adult participants and children with normal-hearing abilities and hearing-…
This project examines their relative contribution using pupil dilatation and concentration cortisol and alpha amylase in saliva as objective measures of mental effort and questionnaires. Young and elderly normally hearing and hearing impaired…
The first sub-project (part 1) aims to identify and characterize realistic dynamic scenarios in which speech communication takes place. In the second sub-project (part 2) we will investigate speech recognition performance in those realistic dynamic…
To measure detection thresholds, loudness, and melody perception in CI recipients in order to assess extent of nerve degeneration between good and poor performers with respect to speech perception.
we aim to enhance insight in the specific influence of cochlear hearing loss on auditory processing and speech. We expect that the results for the normal ears of the unilateral hearing loss listeners is comparable to the results for normal hearing…
The development of an electrophysiological measuring method to describe the temporal processing of the hearing system, using the auditory steady state response.
Generally: what is the effect of tinnitus on the auditory attention filter?A measurement of the effect of tinnitus enables us:a) to measure the extent of attention on tinnitusb) to reduce the attention on tinnitus by evoking attention to a tone with…
The results are used to develop a computer model that can predict speech intelligibility for hearing impaired people, even after signal processing. A model like that can be used to choose the most optimal hearing aid settings in the future.…
This study is designed to clarify how hearing ability and other individual differences influence the preference for a specific noise reduction strength. We will concentrate on the trade-off between residual noise and speech distortion * which is…
The present study aims to assess sensory weights and reweighting in healthy elderly and elderly with polyneuropathy, visual impairments or balance disorders compared to young healthy adults.
The purpose of this study is to determine how this screening test can be used best in practice, and whether Earcheck is a valid test, compared to the pure-tone audiogram, that is applicable in a large population of construction workers exposed to…
To determine normative data for the newly developed digit speech-in-noise test in normal hearing (NH) children.
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. We will compare the pupil response during listening to speech in noise to the activation…
The main objective of this study is to increase current insights into the role of auditory and cognitive factors in the reduced ability to understand speech in noisy environment, particularly for hearing impaired people. These insights will help to…
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…
To test the hypothesis, which states that gap detection is impaired in tinnitus.
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…
