Primairy objective:To compare the incidence of inflammation between the test group (MIPS technique using an Oticon Medical Ponto abutment and implant) and control group ( Hultcrantz technique using an Oticon Medical Ponto abutment and implant) after…
The objective of this study is to develop and test a DSL-protocol which will focus on proper use of hearing-aids, and will also provide patients (and their significant others) with specific skills to improve the use of the senses and communication.…
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between hearing impairment and various aspects of live, such as work, psychosocial health, quality of life and use of health care. The results will yield more insight into the role of hearing loss…
To examine whether hearing impaired young adults are sensitised to social stress, whether this related to dopaminergic activity and whether theory of mind could mediate the relationship.
The present study intends to perform functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in order to obtain further insight in effects of selective attention on sensory processing. This study aims to compare subjects with normal hearing to patients that…
Most patients with tinnitus also have a hearing loss. The primary goal of this study is to investigate whether in patients with hearing loss AND tinnitus, the neural response of the brain is enlarged compared to hearing-impaired patients without…
The current study employs functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the auditory and limbic areas in tinnitus patients by means of innovative analysis methods that permit the assessment of functional interactions between brain…
With this study we will investigate if our test battery is able to distinguish between children with and without suspection of auditory processing disorders.We also want to investigate the normale development of the auditory system of children…
What is the effect of the distraction hearing screening strategy compared to the neonatal hearing screening strategy on speech and language development and other developmental parameters in children with permanent childhood hearing impairment (PCHI…
The proposed study is designed to investigate the neural substrates of tinnitus using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). The study is part of the diagnostic and research program *Diagnosis and treatment of tinnitus with emphasis on…
1) Can changes in functional brain networks in patients with and without hallucinations from several psychiatric, neurological, and perceptual disorders be detected? And if so, what is the pattern of change in these diseases?2) Are specific changes…
Primary Objective: To evaluate cytokine levels in blood samples of human subjects with tinnitus and normal hearing, compared to healthy controls.Secondary Objective(s): To evaluate complete blood count measures (neutrophil count, platelet count etc…
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of intervention with a CI in post lingual adult patients with progressive severe hearing loss and thus residual hearing, compared to standard care with hearing aids, on societal related…
The primary objective of this study is to validate the *Hearing and Sound* questionnaire, developed by *VeiligheidNL*, which addresses exposure to noise through headphone use and visiting events with amplified music. The main study endpoint is to…
By acquiring functional MR images and brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) from the auditory nuclei in the human brainstem, we expect to observe neurofunctional differences between the subjects with unilateral hearing loss, and subjects with…
Module 1Primary Objective: To objectify the relation between tinnitus and flocculus activity, quantified by direct response measurements on the flocculus. Tinnitus is quantified by the Tinnitus Functional Index score (TFI), tinnitus pitch and…
Primary Objective: The primary objective is to compare GABA concentrations and receptors availability in the auditory pathway between individuals with tinnitus and two control groups without tinnitus (with or without hearing loss). GABA…
To accomplish this aim we will address the following objectives:1. Define kidney disease heterogeneity within and between families carrying heterozygous COL4A3/COL4A4 pathogenic variants and evaluate hearing loss as non-renal phenotype;2. Analyze…
The overall aim of the Ageinglines cohort study is to better understand the biological ageing process and its association with the onset (pre)frailty and well-being in later life and to identify targets for delaying the biological ageing process…
1 Primary objectiveTo demonstrate that the minimally invasive surgical procedure in combination with the use of the BA400 abutment is associated with a reduction of inflammation/ infection, overgrowth, pain and numbness at the site of implantation…
