To investigate the clinical pharmacokinetics of tobramycin and/or colistin after nasal administration. With this pharmacokinetic parameters the safety of this treatment can be investigated.
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…
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.
The ENT clinic in Groningen has developed a new speech coding strategy: phase-lock speech (PLS) coding. This strategy distinguishes from existing strategies by the explicit coding of acoustic fine-structure. In normal hearing subjects, the…
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…
Primary Objective:-Evaluate tumour detection sensitivity and specificity with the following image enhancement modalities:1 *narrow-band imaging*, (NBI)2 *near-infrared indocyanin green imaging*, (ICG)3 *5-aminolevulinic acid fluorescent imaging*, (5…
The aim of the current study is to examine whether it is possible to improve speech recognition in specific CI users by optimizing dynamic range and mean aided thresholds. Furthermore, we want to investigate to what extent patient counselling and…
This study proposes a safety study in children in which tumors are operated on using fluorescence-guided resection which are similar to those tumors usually operated on in adults. Based on previous findings regarding safety and the positive…
The main objective of this study is to determine the most precise method for automatic threshold detection of eCAP measurements. Secondary, the correlation between the eCAP thresholds and behavioural thresholds will be examined (the accuracy of the…
A future project will focus on a new platform for at-home monitoring and testing of cochlear implants, developed by one of the manufacturers of cochlear implants, Advanced Bionics (AB). Their Research Application allows for clinicians to read out…
