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)…
The main goal of the study is to optimize 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…
The aim of the study is to test whether EMDR is effective to use as an intervention in order to reduce the severity and the burden of tinnitus and to determine whether the alleged effect of treatment is stable.
The main objective is to identify the source of the *musician effect*, particularly for speech perception. The underlying processes involved and individual differences in different groups of participants in speech and music perception, both in quiet…
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. An innovative method to quantify listening effort (pupillometry) will be further developed…
Objective: The objective of this study is to identify the effect of musical training on the perception of speech in quiet and in noise, pitch, timbre, and melody recognition and the enjoyment of music in normal hearing listeners using non-processed…
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 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 will explore how fast phonemic restoration of degraded speech can be learned. This will be done by training and testing normal-hearing listeners in several sessions with interrupted speech. We will also train a group of normal-hearing…
The current study employs functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the relation between peripheral hearing loss, tinnitus and cortical reorganization. In particular, it aims to map the topographic representation of sound frequency…
First, to measure the influence of the speech coding strategy on frequency discrimination in a free field test. Second, to quantify the influence of the number of harmonics on frequency discrimination in cochlear implant users and in normally…
The aim of the study is to establish the effectiveness of the developed LINE-1 noise suppression scheme for settings that are realistic under the technical possibilities of hearing aids and cochlear implants (CIs). The present study is a…
Our first objective is two-fold; part of it is to evaluate the suitability of the dual task paradigm as a measure for listening effort in a series of simulation experiments. We will compare a linguistic and a non linguistic secondary task in this…
The overall aim of the study is to investigate the Ponto wide implant considering; initial implant stability, stability over time, skin reaction and long term success when loaded at 3 weeks post surgery. Patients* quality of life improvements…
The primary objective is to measure and characterize the tonotopy and modulotopy of the primary auditory cortex in normal hearing subjects. Measurements will be performed both during a normal resting state, as well as during the performance of an…
In the ventriloquism illusion different sources of audio and visual stimuli interact and therefore make it more difficult to lateralize the individual audio source. Hence, the strength of the illusion gives a measure of audio-visual integration. In…
Primary objectives are to measure how phonemic restoration changes as a function of 1. the inherent bottom-up cues that come from the speech signal (spectral information, pitch contours, fundamental frequency, temporal envelope, etc), and 2. the…
Social and emotional functioning of hearing impaired children, in the agegroup between 9 and 15 years old.
Primary Objective: To show superiority of the novel fixtures compared to standard fixtures regarding stability of the implants measured as ISQ values.Secondary Objectives: 1. To compare the long time survival of the standard fixtures and abutments…
