To evaluate the efficacy of an ABI for the suppression of unilateral, intractable tinnitus and to establish the safety of the ABI for this new indication.
With a simple set of clinical tests we want to measure speech recognition performance in a group of normal hearing (NH) individuals and in a group of individuals with a specific hearing impairment. The purpose is to determine if and to what extent…
1. Investigate health care consumption of patients with bilateral vestibulopathy2. Investigate patient expectations of the vestibular implant3. Define inclusion criteria for vestibular implantation4. Define diagnostic approach for patients with…
The aim of the investigation is to demonstrate that the ATB System provides an improvement in hearing outcomes and quality of life compared to unaided hearing in patients with a conductive or mixed hearing loss or single-sided sensorineural deafness…
To quantify the tinnitus relief provided by CART sound therapy.
The main objective of the fMRI experiment is to examine differences in the amount of visually evoked activation of the auditory cortex between hearing and deafened adults and between pre- and postlingually deafened adults. The main objective of the…
To determine the prevalence of BPPV in the elderly patients with an increased risk of fallsSecondary ObjectivesTo compare the outcomes within BPPV patients before and after successful treatment with a canalith repositioning manoeuvre (CRM):* The…
We measure the speech understanding of children in different acoustic conditions and on different performance levels: the speech recognition threshold (i.e. just intelligible), and a comfortable intelligibility level. We do this because we want to…
To report the natural history of retinal degeneration in patients with biallelic mutations in the USH2A gene; to identify sensitive structural and functional outcome measures to use for future multicenter clinical trials in USH2A-related retinal…
To investigate the effect of new hearing aid processing techniques on speech understanding and sound localization in bimodal listeners
Determining a response characteristic of the vestibulocochlear nerve in healthy subjects (e.g. subjects without hearing loss or tinnitus), for the benefit of assessing possible aberrant characteristics in subjects with tinnitus, which data could be…
The objective is:(1) To test the efficacy of VRE versus CAU in 200 children undergoing surgery on the anxiety level of the child during induction of anesthesia (primary outcome), pre- and postoperative child anxiety, pre- and postoperative parental…
The use of multiple programs programmed on the CI processor will be compared to the automatic scene analyser (SCAN). The possibilities of performing speech intelligibility tests at home will be examined and implemented in a webbased environment, and…
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of varying stimulation parameters (inter-phase gap, phase duration, en inter-pulse interval) on the nerve and brainstem response and to correlate this to speech perception performance with the…
Primary Objective: To investigate, in a series of studies, what effect the elements of CBT for tinnitus have on tinnitus distress. Study 1: The objective of study 1 is to examine the effects of audiological assessment, psychological assessment and a…
This study is designed to clarify how hearing ability and other individual differences influence the preference for a specific noise reduction strength. We will concentrate on the trade-off between residual noise and speech distortion * which is…
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of intervention with a CI in post lingual adult patients with progressive severe hearing loss and thus residual hearing, compared to standard care with hearing aids, on societal related…
Primary Objective: Determine the value of trans-impedance measurement (TIM) for detection of new bone formation (NBF).Secondary Objective(s): Determine the influence of NBF on electrophysiological parameters, residual hearing and speech perception…
OBJECTIVE(S)/RESEARCH QUESTION(S) 1. Are the hearing levels after three years of follow-up with annual diffusion-weighted MRI comparable to those after follow-up with second look surgery?2. Is a diffusion-weighted MRI follow-up strategy cost-…
This is an exploratory validation study in a small group of subjects receiving a CI to verify if ECoG measurements with AB*s novel ECoG system are useful as an intra-operative tool for soft surgical techniques to spare residual hearing. This trial…
