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…
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…
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)…
To validate the Extended Speech Transmission Index (ESTI) model for fluctuating noise in reverberant conditions in both normal hearing and hearing impaired subjects
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 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-…
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…
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 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…
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.
