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 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 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…
Part 1: To develop a child friendly method to balance bilateral input with regard to loudness and to assess the effect of this so-called bilateral loudness balancing on speech perception in noise and localization. This child friendly method with…
Our expectation that the EDLI group may positively benefit from CI comes from a small number of studies, due possibly to the very small size of this implantee population worldwide. Despite a delay between the onset of deafness and the implantation,…
The study consists of two parts.Objective 1 to document the day by day changes of tinnitus that participants with intermittent tinnitus experience. This objective is aimed for in part 1 of the study. In addition, this part allows the selection of a…
Objective: The main objective of this project is to unravel the mechanisms explaining the pupil dilation response during listening and hearing-related stress, and relate these factors to daily-life communication and psychosocial health. The…
The aim of this study is to gain insight into speech discrimination abilities of teenagers, by the use of the online speech-in-noise test, Earcheck. The main objective is to explore the relation of SRT scores with age, gender, and education level.…
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…
In this project, we will investigate the effect of motivation, as manipulated by the level of (monetary) reward, on listening effort (as measured with the pupil dilation response) and performance, while listening to speech in different types of…
To determine an increased risk of falling during a delirium
Primary objective of the study:To find out which areas in the brain play a part in the maintenance of tinnitus, and what the roles of those areas are. This will be done using the AEP response in EEG recordings.Secundary objectives of the study:1. To…
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…
Primary: To find out which areas in the brain play a part in the maintenance of tinnitus, and what the roles of those areas are. This will be done using BOLD response fMRI imaging.Secondary: 1. To find out which areas in the brain play a part in the…
The study objectives are to measure the impact of swimming in chlorinated water on the upper and lower airways of children with and without *doctors diagnosed asthma* by means of the following methods: 1.Tympanometry after otoscopy 2.Airway…
To objectify the effect of the VLS-system during daily use regarding postural stability and quality of life.
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…
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…
To test the hypothesis, which states that gap detection is impaired in tinnitus.
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…
