To investigate hearing improvement following day-case stapes surgery compared to in-patient stapes surgery and the effect of both methods on quality of life, cost-effectiveness and complication rates (mainly tinnitus and vertigo).
To measure the 18F-fluoride activity of otosclerosis in patients diagnosed with otosclerosis (by audiometry, CT scan and/or operative findings) in a different stage of their disease. If this diagnostic proves to be reliable and reproducible, this…
To investigate which surgical technique (with or without vein graft interposition) is most (cost-)effective in patients with otosclerosis in terms of the average postoperative air-bone gap (ABG) closure, individual air and bone conduction thresholds…
To gain information about the characteristics of the oVEMP-response in patients with otosclerosis and to objectify the complaints of dizziness pre- and postoperatively through a dizziness questionnaire.
The objective of this study is to acquire a set of images and associated technical information to facilitate regulatory submission of the pulse sequences
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two differently sized pistons used in primary stapedotomy for otosclerosis in terms of hearing improvement, complication rate and general and disease-specific quality of life.
To construct an optimal diagnostic protocol enabling general practitioners to distinguish between dizzy elderly patients who need treatment, dizzy elderly patients who need further diagnostics and dizzy elderly patients who need no further…
To assess the validity, reliability and feasibility of accelerometers and the Pedar Mobile system for measuring balance during standing and walking of patients with neurological and vestibular disorders.
Single-stage bone-anchored hearing implant surgery in the pediatric population using the BHX implant
To compare implant loss between single-stage BAHI surgery (test group) and two-stage BAHI surgery (control group) in children. Furthermore, to compare soft tissue status, time to loading and duration of surgery between groups.
To establish the clinical and cost-effectiveness of antibiotic-corticosteroid eardrops as compared with oral antibiotics in children with AOMd.
To compare implant loss between single-stage BAHI surgery (test group) and two-stage BAHI surgery (control group) in children. Furthermore, to compare soft tissue status, time to loading and duration of surgery between groups.
To investigate whether analgesic ear drops added to usual care (oral analgesics with/without antibiotics) provide superior ear pain relief over usual care in children presenting to primary care with ear pain and diagnosed with AOM .
To assess the feasibility and the clinical potential of structural and functional OCT imaging with Aurisvue in patients with various middle ear problems.
OBJECTIVE(S)/RESEARCH QUESTION(S) 1. Are the hearing levels after three years of follow-up with annual diffusion-weighted MRI comparable to those after follow-up with second look surgery?2. Is a diffusion-weighted MRI follow-up strategy cost-…
The primary aim of this study is to investigate whether a canal wall up (CWU) tympanomastoidectomy with obliteration of the mastoid and paratympanic or epitympanic spaces reduces cholesteatoma recurrence and residual rates compared to the same…
