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…
To evaluate the effectiveness of bilateral implantation over unilateral implantation in children with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Furthermore with this study we will investigate whether simultaneous bilateral implantation is…
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…
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 primary objective is to examine the relationships between the cognitive tests results of the neuropsychological assessment and dual-task cost in elderly with cognitive impairment. The second objective is to examine differences in gait…
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…
To determine normative data for the newly developed digit speech-in-noise test in normal hearing (NH) children.
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…
1. To implant a functional vestibular prosthesis using the ampullar *V*-approach, as developed in our own clinic.2. To investigate protocols for adjusting the vestibular implant (VI) to required settings, regarding:-- Modulation sensitivity--…
Generally: what is the effect of tinnitus on the auditory attention filter?A measurement of the effect of tinnitus enables us:a) to measure the extent of attention on tinnitusb) to reduce the attention on tinnitus by evoking attention to a tone with…

The first aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the VEP program on the primary and secondary outcomes: Need for Recovery after work (NFR), sick leave, Communication Profile for the Hearing Impaired (CPHI), distress, work…
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 purpose of this study is to determine how this screening test can be used best in practice, and whether Earcheck is a valid test, compared to the pure-tone audiogram, that is applicable in a large population of construction workers exposed to…
Hypothesis: PLS will improve speech understanding in noise in comparison to HiRes, an exisiting state-of-the-art speech coding strategy. The objective is to test this hypothesis. A secondary hypothesis is that PLS improves pitch perception. A…
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of hearing-aid noise reduction on the perception of normal hearing listener, in terms of intelligibility, listening effort, noise annoyance, speech naturalness and overall preference. Secondly, the…
The objective of the Simbici project is to evaluate the effect of bilateral cochlear implantation compared to unilateral cochlear implantation in children, in the domains of primary auditive capacities, language development and social-emotional…
The aim of this study is to investigate which (combination of) laboratory situations require the full benefit of binaural hearing.
This study is designed to clarify how hearing ability and other individual differences influence the preference for a specific noise reduction strength. We will concentrate on the trade-off between residual noise and speech distortion * which is…
The present study aims to assess sensory weights and reweighting in healthy elderly and elderly with polyneuropathy, visual impairments or balance disorders compared to young healthy adults.
