To objectify the effect of the VLS-system during daily use regarding postural stability and quality of life.
The objective of this study is to develop and test a DSL-protocol which will focus on proper use of hearing-aids, and will also provide patients (and their significant others) with specific skills to improve the use of the senses and communication.…
The development of an electrophysiological measuring method to describe the temporal processing of the hearing system, using the auditory steady state response.
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…
Which mediators of inflammation and which factors of gastro-oesophageal reflux are present in middle ear effusion? Can the findings of this study attribute to pharmacological treatment of OME.
The objective of this study is to acquire a set of images and associated technical information to facilitate regulatory submission of the pulse sequences
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 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.
To examine whether hearing impaired young adults are sensitised to social stress, whether this related to dopaminergic activity and whether theory of mind could mediate the relationship.
There are four main objectives in this research project, belonging to two different parts of the study. Part 1 comprises objectives 1 and 2:1. Determine the electrode discrimination abilities of prelingually deafened adult CI users in order to…
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. We will compare the pupil response during listening to speech in noise to the activation…
The main objective of the present study is to investigate the optimal stimulation pattern for tinnitus suppression in a structured way. Our study will focus on two parameters: stimulus level and anatomical stimulation site inside the cochlea.
The primary objective is to measure and characterize the tonotopy and modulotopy of the primary auditory cortex in normal hearing subjects. Measurements will be performed both during a normal resting state, as well as during the performance of an…
The overall aim of the study is to investigate the Ponto wide implant considering; initial implant stability, stability over time, skin reaction and long term success when loaded at 3 weeks post surgery. Patients* quality of life improvements…
This study aims to asess the feasibility of the Dutch version of the AB-York Crescent of Sound in normal hearing adults and unilaterally implanted adult CI patients.
Objective: The objective of this study is to identify the effect of musical training on the perception of speech in quiet and in noise, pitch, timbre, and melody recognition and the enjoyment of music in normal hearing listeners using non-processed…
1. To determine the benefit of a CI in the functionally deaf ear of patients with asymmetrical hearing loss with moderate to severe hearing loss in their best ear in terms of speech performance (in quiet and noise) and localization 2. To determine…
In the ventriloquism illusion different sources of audio and visual stimuli interact and therefore make it more difficult to lateralize the individual audio source. Hence, the strength of the illusion gives a measure of audio-visual integration. In…
To test the hypothesis, which states that gap detection is impaired in tinnitus.
In this research, psychofysical tests will be used to explore in which way the signal processing in CI and hearing aid can be optimized to fully exploit both input modalities in speech understanding, and in sound localization..
