To validate the Extended Speech Transmission Index (ESTI) model for fluctuating noise in reverberant conditions in both normal hearing and hearing impaired subjects
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 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. An innovative method to quantify listening effort (pupillometry) will be further developed…
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the clinical outcome of a cochlear implant (CI) over standard health care therapy with either BAHA or CROSS in patients with SSD and to examine the cost efficiency of cochlear implantation in these…
Post-market clinical follow-up of a magnetic bone conduction implant (Cochlear Baha® Attract System)
This post-market clinical follow-up investigation aims to evaluate the usability and the mid- to long-term performance of the Baha Attract System in terms of hearing outcomes and safety. The objective is to compare the hearing performance with the…
The objective of this study is to identify the effect of musical experience and training on the perception of speech in quiet and in noise, as well as on perception of music-related stimuli, such as, pitch, timbre, emotion and melody recognition, in…
The general goal of our study is to unravel the anatomical and functional correlates of tinnitus in the human brain using structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We will use a high-field (7 T) MRI scanner and obtain a) detailed…
The effect of pulse rate on temporal resolution and speech intelligibility in cochlear implant users
To determine the (in)direct effect of CI pulse rate on speech intelligibility by means of (1) a standard test for temporal resolution: amplitude modulation detection (AMD) at two different modulation frequencies, (2) speech intelligibility tests (…
To determine if maintenance therapy with AZN will provide significant improvements in PCD lung disease, compared to placebo: reduction in respiratory system exacerbations and improvement in lung function, ventilation inhomogeneity, improvement in…
The first sub-project (part 1) aims to identify and characterize realistic dynamic scenarios in which speech communication takes place. In the second sub-project (part 2) we will investigate speech recognition performance in those realistic dynamic…
The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of hearing impairment amongst dentists who are working in the Netherlands.
Primary Objective: in what way, if any, do children with cochlear implants process prosody differently from each other and from normally hearing children?Secondary Objective(s): 1) is there a processing difference between linguistic and emotional…
The objective of this study is to examine the vestibular system in three dimensions. To achieve this goal three experiments are performed. The EyeSeeCam video-oculography is validated with the scleral search coils (international golden standard).…
To measure detection thresholds, loudness, and melody perception in CI recipients in order to assess extent of nerve degeneration between good and poor performers with respect to speech perception.
we aim to enhance insight in the specific influence of cochlear hearing loss on auditory processing and speech. We expect that the results for the normal ears of the unilateral hearing loss listeners is comparable to the results for normal hearing…
The current study employs functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the relation between peripheral hearing loss, tinnitus and cortical reorganization. In particular, it aims to map the topographic representation of sound frequency…
Primary Objective: The present study is designed to answer the question whether the surgically altered OEAC leads to a perceived change in sound quality.Secondary Objective(s): To determine the differences in RECD and REUR induced by different OEAC…
