To objectify the effect of the VLS-system during daily use regarding postural stability and quality of life.
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 project has three main scientific objectives: (1) To investigate how speech processing with CIs affects listeners* mental representations at lexical and sub-lexical levels, as well as the flow of information between these levels; (2) To study…
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 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…
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…
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 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-…
Firstly, comparison of DTI outcome variables between the auditory nerve of a deaf ear with that of a normal ear. Secondly, in patients who receive a CI, DTI measures will be compared to measures derived from electrically evoked compound action…
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…
To determine an increased risk of falling during a delirium
First, to measure the influence of the speech coding strategy on frequency discrimination in a free field test. Second, to quantify the influence of the number of harmonics on frequency discrimination in cochlear implant users and in normally…
To examine the effects of treatment with galantamine among patients with AD on the variability and stability of walking (with and without dual-task), functional mobility, standing balance, and cognitive functions (e.g. attention and executive…
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…
To gain information about the characteristics of the oVEMP-response in patients with otosclerosis and to objectify the complaints of dizziness pre- and postoperatively through a dizziness questionnaire.
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between hearing impairment and various aspects of live, such as work, psychosocial health, quality of life and use of health care. The results will yield more insight into the role of hearing loss…
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 results are used to develop a computer model that can predict speech intelligibility for hearing impaired people, even after signal processing. A model like that can be used to choose the most optimal hearing aid settings in the future.…
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…
