Primary Objective: Investigate whether early valganciclovir treatment of children with SNHL of >= 20 dB, unilateral or bilateral, and a confirmed congenital CMV infection can prevent deterioration of the hearing loss at 1 year follow-up.…
(this text is taken from the protocol, see protocol for the detailed version)The main objective of the study is to gain insight in the underlying mechanism of tinnitus suppression. This objective will be achieved by comparing the suppressive effect…
The development of an electrophysiological measuring method to describe the temporal processing of the hearing system, using the auditory steady state response.
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.
In the ventriloquism illusion different sources of audio and visual stimuli interact and therefore make it more difficult to lateralize the individual audio source. Hence, the strength of the illusion gives a measure of audio-visual integration. In…
This study aims to asess the feasibility of the Dutch version of the AB-York Crescent of Sound in normal hearing adults and unilaterally implanted adult CI patients.
The goal of the planned studies is to determine the significance of afferent and efferent motor processes in facial expressions that may impact evaluative judgments or responses induced by linguistic and pictorial representations of facial…
There are four main objectives in this research project, belonging to two different parts of the study. Part 1 comprises objectives 1 and 2:1. Determine the electrode discrimination abilities of prelingually deafened adult CI users in order to…
To objectify the effect of the VLS-system during daily use regarding postural stability and quality of life.
In this research, psychofysical tests will be used to explore in which way the signal processing in CI and hearing aid can be optimized to fully exploit both input modalities in speech understanding, and in sound localization..
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…
The objectives are to evaluate the degree of bilateral benefit gained from having a second implant with respect to speech perception, spatial hearing, and listening effort.
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…
Primary objective: To assess the level of agreement between the following tests:- The minimal frequency difference necessary to evoke an ACC in normal hearing adults and adults with SNHL (ACC threshold).- The just noticeable frequency differences…
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 main objective of the present study is to investigate the optimal stimulation pattern for tinnitus suppression in a structured way. Our study will focus on two parameters: stimulus level and anatomical stimulation site inside the cochlea.
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…
1. To determine the benefit of a CI in the functionally deaf ear of patients with asymmetrical hearing loss with moderate to severe hearing loss in their best ear in terms of speech performance (in quiet and noise) and localization 2. To determine…
The overall aim of the study is to investigate the Ponto wide implant considering; initial implant stability, stability over time, skin reaction and long term success when loaded at 3 weeks post surgery. Patients* quality of life improvements…
The primary objective is to measure and characterize the tonotopy and modulotopy of the primary auditory cortex in normal hearing subjects. Measurements will be performed both during a normal resting state, as well as during the performance of an…
