The proposed studies will investigate the effect of auditory attention on speech comprehension, its relation to listening effort, and the effect of hearing loss on these processes.
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--…
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…
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 follow-up (age 18 * 22 months…
The purpose of this study is the validity and applicability of an objective internet screening test appropriate for the detection of occupational noise-induced hearing loss, that can be performed in a remote setting (at home or at work).
The primary objective of the study is to investigate which cognitive abilities predict amount and time-course of individual improvement in speech understanding performance within the first three months after cochlear implant activation. The primary…
The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of hearing impairment amongst dentists who are working in the Netherlands.
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 aim of this study is to validate known, and identify novel allelic variants which may play a role in the risk of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in a substantial international cohort of children diagnosed with cancer.
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 (…
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.…
Evaluate the performance of directional microphone systems in binaural (bimodal or bilateral) cochlear implant users
The aim of the study is to test whether EMDR is effective to use as an intervention in order to reduce the severity and the burden of tinnitus and to determine whether the alleged effect of treatment is stable.
The main objective is to identify the source of the *musician effect*, particularly for speech perception. The underlying processes involved and individual differences in different groups of participants in speech and music perception, both in quiet…
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…
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 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…
To validate the Extended Speech Transmission Index (ESTI) model for fluctuating noise in reverberant conditions in both normal hearing and hearing impaired subjects
To investigate the cost-effectiveness of day-case cochlear implantation compared to inpatient cochlear implantation and the effect of both methods on quality of life.
